    My BP ATE!

    Ok, well my BP ate and the breeder I got him from had him on a every 5 Day feeding schedule and today was the 5th so he was ready to be fed so I went and picked up a little Hopper Mouse (Live) and put him in a feeding box with the snake and the Hopper sniffed the snake didn't try and attack him he was in there for about 4-5 minutes before my snake attacked. And when he struck the hopper started to bite him so my dad started to flick the hoppers head to make him stop and it did. Any way he ate the hopper and I picked up to put him back in his cage and he tried to bite me its what I think looked like a striking motion no bite marks though. Anyway that wasn't my concern after he was fed and all done eating I went over to a friends and I came back home and he is laying part way in his water dish. Okay yea normal behavior but he was breathing heavily. Iv never heard popping or wheezing from him and no mucus or bubbles around the nose. Anyway is it normal for a BP to breath heavily after eating? I mean its fast but not super fast. He also likes to climb up on his Accurite Thermometer and Hygrometer that is mounted on the glass.

    Should I get him a Log to climb?

    Alright, he is breathing normally, he is sleeping in the corner of his water dish cause I left a little spot open for him to lay there and he loves it lol.

    I think I am going to get him a little Log to Climb cause he seems bored in the tank at night and keeps climbing the acurite Thermometer/Hygrometer I have mounted to the glass.
