My male bci, who is about a year old, and whom I've had for about 3 months now, has very odd behavior. In fact, I have posted about this plenty of times, but it concerns me so much it feels good to do it again. When he is in his enclosure, he is the most inactive snake I've ever owned. All he does is bask, then hide. He's never trying to search for a way out of the enclosure like my pythons and kingsnake do. But then when I am handling him, he is the most active snake I own. His breathing is incredibly hard. He swings his tail every which way to grab ahold of things, and simply will not hang. If I have him out I have to place him on my neck or on the floor or something because he'll try so hard to climb up onto nothing that it leads me to believe he could easily hurt himself. I am very concerned about this seeing as how it is already a mess and he's only 2.8 feet long! I know a lot of different species calm down with age, but I've heald many bci's (though mostly birthlings) since I've gotten him, and they were all just as calm as my bp's. So, I need lots of reassurance that I'm just a worry wart. Either that or a good offer on an insane BCI... (....j/k)
