Hi all, as most of you know I recently received a baby red blood python. The first day, after unpacking, she was pretty speedy but not snappy at all. After tucking her away in her bin, I grew a little concerned and decided to just stroke her back since she hadn't moved (I know they're lazy, but I had to check)..she didn't puff up or react at all. I thought she'd died, I even lifted her head with my fingers and she didn't respond. I pulled her out to really look her over, and only after a little while did she start sniffing around and moving. Are they just really heavy sleepers?
Is this normal for a fairly calm baby blood? I had surgery yesterday, came home this morning and checked on her and she seems about the same. She won't even pull back when I brush her nose. I have noticed that she's moved a few times since and burrowed a bit under her aspen. I guess I just need some reassurance because I'm new to their behaviors.As stated in another thread, her warm spot is around 82-85 (trying to keep it near the former) and humidity is stable at 60%.
