New to forum, new to BP's.
searched the site and wasn't sure where to put this type of thread, so if this is in the wrong spot feel free to move it to the apporpriate section please. I just got my baby BP, about a 9-12 inches long, maybe an inch in diameter. A buddy who owns an exotic pet store gave me the snake, the cage, and all the fixtures for free, I just had to grab the lide and heat light. So I def got lucky on the deal. At first I had just a type of carpet on the floor with a few logs here and there, but no real hidding spots for it. The heat light when on gets the spot under it about 90 degrees, and he/she would normally chill under the light. I have recently put in like a mulch type bedding I got from the pet store, made sure it contains no ceder, and put in more logs and some actually hidding spots for it. Sicne then he wont come out, he has been under the same log for three days. I keep the heat light on during the day which adds light to the cage as well, then at night I put in a red bulb. and dim the lights in the room. Before I changed the cage at night he would move around and during the day he would curl up in the corner of the cage under the light under a log as much as he could. Now, he has spots where he can completel hide in and he never leaves it, even at night. Its also on the other side of the cage, so he isnt getting any heat over there either. The temp where the lights are is ~90 degrees and on the other end is in the 80's. Humidity im having a really hard time with and the best I can get is 50% and its usually at 40%, have no idea how to get 80% in there where is supposed to be. Any ideas? or is he just finally feeling secure in his new home and thats why hes hidding out? The water dish is big enough for him to sit in, but he only did that the day after I got him, since i redid the cage he hasnt moved at all.....getting kinda worried. Also dont have a name for it yet, or know if its a male or female. Heres some pics, any tips, pointers, advice would be awesome. Just glad to find a BP forum that looks like it has a knowledgable crowd.
