i have had my bp for about 6 weeks now and when i got her i thought that they just lived in their hides and only came out for water and eat, but what flick (my bp) does is stays in the hide for most of the day and then in the evening once the temp has cooled down a bit she will come out of the hide and then rome about the entire hide, do a little bit of climbing up the logs i have sitting under her little waterfall thats in there and just genrally nosing the glass and just chilling out in the open.....in my opinion much more active and inquisitive than what i thought :-)
