I changed my bp's tank around on Friday night ie new hides,removed UTH added human heat pad etc.
Next night offered food ,it had been 8 days, he didnt eat, no interest at all so I figure he is stressed due to new surroundings.
He has been in his hot hide since Friday, he did come out Sunday and run around the tank for a couple hours and I have actually seen him drink a few times but other than that hot hide all the way.
Now my bp seldom used his hot hide before only when I put back in cage after handling he would hang out in it for a few hours then right back to cool side.
Today it is fairly warm here and I have windows open and temps were fine when I left this am 91.5 in hot hide 81.5 cool side hide, anyway I came home and the temp in hot hide had gone up to 96.5 yet he still didnt leave and retreat to cool side. Same hides on both sides.
Do bp's tend to stay on hot side when they are stressed.
His habits have really changed since the tank change.
Anyone have any ideas on this???
