I read a lot how BPs hide alllllll the time etc..in fact it made me freak out when my new lady wasn't. For the first few days I had her she was in her hide all the time but as she's getting used to things she comes out a lot. Mainly at night (seeing as they are nocturnal) but sometimes after I handle her or if I open the terrarium to mist she comes out to say hello. Still nervous to be held but she enjoys exploring!

I guess my point is that everyone's snake has a different personality!
