[psychophobia]

is it normal if bp dont like the bedding n she prefer A4 paper or newspaper?coz when i try change to bedding,she push out all the bedding inside her hide n let clean place to rest.so i have to remove the bedding n start using A4 paper again.

Most will move the bedding in order to get closer to the heat source, but you don't have a heat source so maybe yours really doesn't like the bedding. What are you using as bedding? Also, there's nothing wrong with using newspaper or paper towels, it makes it easier to clean. I have no idea what A4 paper is?

Yup mine pushes his bedding out of both his hides, even the cool sodden. Either way is okay, and paper is just fine as well. It's up to you and what you like best.

We had a couple that use to do that then we switched to paper towels.
Now we only have a male pastel that sleeps UNDER his towels
Its kind of funny when he is "out and about" because all you see is a lump moving under the towels, and yes he is in an enclosure so that makes it more amusing
He has managed to tear holes here and there to see what is going on in the real world too

I highly doubt any snake intentionally manipulates the substrate, unless it's a "the more I move, the warmer it gets--and I like that"... I love snakes, just like everyone else here, but they're not all that intelligent . This happens as they curl themselves up with a thin layer of substrate. I doubt it will happen if you put 1"+ in there.

I would think if s/he didn't like it, they would spend their time on top of their hide, around the rim of water bowl, etc., in an attempt to REALLY not touch the substrate. And don't snakes not sense things like other animals? That is, they don't have nerves on their scales, which is why they will unintentionally burn themselves?

Intentional or not all of my big snakes push the substrate to the sides so I went to paper towels and they still do it, lol.
