We had a big thunderstorm come through yesterday. We even lost power for about 15 minutes (the whole home generator kicked in as it should, so that eases my mind somewhat, that it's working properly).
The snakes were bonkers last night. I've witnessed this before, with weather being weird (with Shayna and Figment), but it was my first experience with Behira (BCI).
Shayna (BP) was totally jumpy and timid. I literally had her out for 2 minutes to see if her eyes were clear (she is going to shed and had cloudy eyes a few days ago) and she did not enjoy any of it.
She was clearly distressed, but not biting or hissing, just distressed. I did a quick once over and then had her back in her tank.
Behira had eaten Sunday night, and I've been sick in bed since then, so last night was my first opportunity to see her/take her out.
Same thing as Shayna. It took 6-7 hook handle strokes (she's hook trained) to get her to calm down even little (I honestly thought she might nail the hook handle). She did not strike after all, and let me pick her up easily, but was very active and couldn't seem to get comfortable.
I put her back pretty quick also.
Of course, today, a nice sunny day here in CT, everyone was totally fine.
Shayna was calm and I removed her to clean up some waste and check humidity. No issues. Behira was chill and back to her curious self and calm as ever.
Anyone else experience similar behavior changes with extreme weather?
