Young Bull rubbing her nose constantly on glass

[Bogertophis]

Is it just the season for restless Pitts? My Sonoran Gopher female has been restless for the past week. I pulled her out, overhauled the entire viv - full clean, and disinfect, new substrate, new climbing surfaces, and another hide. Checked her heat (hot spot good at low/mid 80'sF), and stabilized the ambient to low 70'sF with an RHP. Still won't settle down. She is due for a feed tomorrow, but all this started right after her last meal.

Maybe she's thinking it's time to find a place to brumate? The days are getting shorter (try adding light to her enclosure?) & temps. are falling...that's the tip-offs
for snakes to think about brumating. The other thing to keep in mind is that these are diurnal snakes, so we actually SEE their activity much more than we do for
the nocturnal snakes we keep. But mostly these active hunters too, not ambush predators. Also, since this is a female, is she a breedable size & age? she may also
be craving more food to bulk up on (reproductive readiness)....and fall is the "last hurrah" for doing that. You have to think about it from her (instinctive)
perspective.

It's crazy that there aren't good books about these, they are so under-appreciated! But of course, they're "native", not "exotic" (like BPs etc)???
