    Tub difficulties : [

    Well I moved my bp to her tub about 4 days ago. The temperatures are right and humidity is great. Everything is on the thermostat. But she NEVER goes to her warm side at all! Before when she had her tank she slept on the cool side all the time and every night would slither under her warm hide for about a half an hour or more. But is this normal for her not to never go to the warm side? I never caught her in her warm hide at all since I moved her. Should I be worrying?

    Sometimes BPs will pick a side they like and stick to it for a month or longer. Sometimes they will switch which side they like for no reason, or after a big change(like a change in housing). There is nothing to be alarmed at if you have two identical hides and proper temps, she will thermo-regulate as she chooses.

    Also it has been only 4 days, not exactly a long time for the snake to get used to a new home.

    Ok good. Yea both of her hides are the same identical thing. I just wanted to be on the safe side. Thanks

    I would agee with butter, as long as she has hides in both temp areas she will regulate as needed.
