Strange Behavior

[humpee316]

As a first time BP owner i have been educating myself how to be a proficient and caring owner..I have an 8 month old female BP named Jazzmin.She is quite the lady..She has recently changed in behavior that has coinsided with her most recent shed,which was messy to say the least.keep in mind that tank conditions are identical to the last shed which was a complete problem free event.she no longer goes into her hide.she has burrowed herself under her water bowl that came with the tank.its made of porcellen and looks like a little pond,and she wedges herself into the gaps in the mold.the last 3 days she has hung out in the wide open,but at night shes all over her cage,very active.also she is a little over 25 inches long.is this a normal size for her age.and any other opinions on what shes been doing will be appreciated

Verify all of your temps are good. Have you recently move or changed anything in the enclosure?...

Mine roams and hangs out of the hide when she is hungry.

Thank you for responding...Tank temp is around 84 to 86 degrees humidity is between 50 and 60 ..daytime and 76 to 80 degrees and around 60 percent at night....also fed her this past tuesday...she shouldnt be hungry...should she?

[humpee316]

she only ate 5 days ago

I guess that would depend on the size of your snake and the size of the food she has been eating. I have a hatchling that eats a regular mouse every 5 days.

Did you check her for mites?

It's possible that she's hungry, that's what mine does when he gets snackish. How warm is your basking spot in the enclosure?

Do you have a hot side? The temps needs to be 80-85 on the cool side and 89-93 on the warm side. I think you need to have another look at the care sheet.

ur snake is prolly hungry. with the smaller ones its good to feed every 5 days.
