    Ball has gone funny?

    Ok guy's, this is the thing....... My BP is 3foot and have had her 3 months now! She has shed last week, and also she out grew her hides, so i got 2 new large ones for her. Since the day i got her right up till at least a week/ week n half ago she has became from very active to very lazy and hardly seen her about the viv!!

    Now, tonight while she was going from hot side to cool side, she 'pooped a brick' when my g/f walked past her viv.....Now the thing is, she never had done that before and I dont no if this is a sign for anything???

    She just doesnt seem the same to me. When handled her tongue flicks all the time, and she moves around abit. So she is alert that way.

    Any ideas?

    When you first get a BP they tend to be more active because they are becoming familiar with their enclosure. After a while they'll settle down and become more tame. That's a good thing. BPs are happier when their hiding, they are not display animals by any means. As for the "pooping a brick," I don't know what to tell you there. LOL.

    GoodLuck

    Sounds pretty normal to me. Their not in your face display animals. they tend to hide and be inactive during the day and venture out at night depending on whether they're hungry or thirsty.
