my bp is very active all of a sudden. usually he sleeps all day and only slithers around his enclosure occasionally or when he's hungry.
however for the past few days he is cruising all the time. i don't know what's wrong.
is he stressed? i don't think he's hungry i just fed him a few days ago
food: live large mouse every 5-7 days
(rats are too big for him)
ambient temp: 75-80 degrees
cool side floor temp: 80 degrees
hot side floor temp: 88-90 degrees
(temperatures measured with an infrared temperature gun under the substrate)
enclosure:
tub with two hides, a water bowl, and some plants.
two heat pads, one for the hot side and one for the cool side set to different temperatures (in the winter it gets very very cold so that's why there's two)
temperatures regulated with a herpstat 2, probe is in between heat pads and bottom of tub
substrate is aspen
so, what's wrong? why is he so active?
he even wakes me up in the middle of the night because of how much he's moving around.
