    Weird behaviour change

    To be honest, this is my first and only BP so maybe her behaviour was weird to begin with and she just turned normal

    When I got her a few month ago (*09, 1000gr now) she was quite active in the evening (after 11pm) .. always out and about etc.

    She was also eating f/t fine, although she wasn't strike-feeding. I had to leave the rat in her enclosure and after an hour or so she pulled it in her hide.

    Now she is never really out anymore and missed two meals which is really odd for her.

    As for temps, the cooler side is about 80 degrees and the warm side 90-93 degrees. She is always in the hide in the cold side (temps measured under a thin layer of aubiose).

    I am a bit puzzled to be honest. She looks fine. I don't see anything wrong with her (mites etc.) ....

    Anything else I should check or is she just "normal" and settled in ?!?

    Not eating for 2 meals is not a big deal for a snake that size. What size prey items do you offer?

    Hiding all the time is pretty normal with these guys, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    You stress more about the snake not eating then the snake does
