protesting hides?

[sorakitty]

Okay, so today I had to take out my girls little cardboard pyramid hide type thing, and replaced it with one of those popular hides you can get at any pet shop. Well I think my girls pretty p/oed that she doesn't have that card board hide anymore. I would replace it, but I have no more, and the one she had was soiled, and I would not leave that in there. I just think it's kinda funny she's protesting her hides. I know she's healthy, and I bought her rheostat thing for her uth today, so I'll be getting it in a few days. I also know the hides I do have for her are tight for her, so I know that it's not she doesn't feel secure. Has this happened to anyone else?

It was just cute watching her move around looking for it. Should I be concerned at all about this, because I'm not. I'm sure she'll go back into her hides once she realizes it's all she has.

wasnt really roaming looking for it. the change stressed her out and she will need time to readjust to the new change in her home.


When ever changing anything like a hide, leave the old in with the new and change slowly so they can adjust to it being there.

If the hides are roughly the same size she will just need some time to adjust to the change

Okay. Thanks for the tip. The one I replaced her old one with is identical to the one she had in there at the same time with her old one. So if I kept her old one in there she'd have two identical's and the old one. It's to late for me to put in her old one now, I threw it out. ^^;;; but I'll keep it in mind for the next time I switch them out.

My girl's honestly so weird. ^^ I don't know what the ideal ball is suppose to do, but today I found her chilling vertically in the corner of her tank. She yawned today also while I held her, which scared me, and made me put her back, and I just saw her gently place her nose against her hid. haha. She's just to funny to watch.

Also, I brought her to work last week, I know this is completely off the topic I wrote, but I love telling this story. When I brought her in, there's this one girl who is petrified of snakes, to a point she was telling me to keep it away as she was cowering in a corner (and I wasn't even near her). Well I turned around and let a little girl pet Kafusu, and next thing I knew, my co-worker was right next to me. When I went in today, I found out she actually wants to own her own ball python! And to think she was so terrified of snakes in the beginning. I even invited her to a up coming reptile show, and she seemed all to excited to go, as long as she has the day off. Her face totally light right up! I'm so glad I was able to open someones eyes, and able to show my co-worker that snakes aren't as bad as everyone seems to think they are.
