    Question Wrapped Up Warmly & Asleep: Stressed?

    It seems like anything and everything can cause stress to a BP. Can being wrapped up in a warm towel or blanket, when it's curled up and hasn't moved for an hour (hence the "asleep" assumption), be stressful?

    Ours was roaming around mid-afternoon, which is highly unusual for it. It had been in its cool hide for the past 12 hours.

    I weighed it, then took the opportunity to hold it, and it calmed right down, so I'm assuming it was taking in the warmth from my hands. It has since been wrapped up in a blanket, first on the couch and now on my lap, and has been "asleep" the entire time.

    Of course, I don't know if it's going to roam around or go back into its hide when I put it back in, but at least for now, when it's warm and unmoving, does that sound like a happy BP?

    Yes. A happy bp in an invisible bp.

    But not a ninja, ninjas are never happy.

    Well, it seems like he would be happy. Sometimes I will do that with my BP too, and she just loves it. I remember I was laying on my couch and I was holding onto her while she was laying on my stomach somewhat curled up around my hand, and after that I dosed off and was asleep for 2 hours and when I woke up she still happened to be in the same position and "sleeping". So, this does happen to be a good question, and I'm really not sure but I'm guessing he wouldn't be stressed. He probably feels more comfortable then stressed it seems like.

    Yes, please don't associate BPs with Ninjas.
    Ninjas are never happy, and their sole purpose is to flip out and kill people.
    We don't want BPs being associated with that.

    1. Ninjas are mammals.
    2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
    3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

    ..What is with the ninjas?

    ninjas are supposed to be elusive and avoid battle at all costs....


    anyway. If your snake is sleeping in your lap then I am sure its perfectly happy.
