is this bad?
ive had my BP for about 2 weeks now, from his size im guessing hes about 6-7 months"just a guess". and ive read and been told that BP are nocturnal they only really move around in the dark. after a bout a week he starting moving around all the time during the day. i have no lights on the tank so its just daylight from the windows. is this bad???
now ive tried to feed him a few times with no luck. 1st time he grabbed it but then let it go. 2nd time he went for it, missed, and never went back. could he be just looking for food that's y he moves so much? the temp in the tank and humidity r all fine,"from what i can tell". or could this just be his personality???
now so you guys don't think hes on red bull or something, he does go into his warm spot and chill, but not as much as i thought a nocturnal snake would...

Can you provide more detailed information about the setup?
How are you measuring temps? What are your temps sitting at? What is the humidity? What kind of enclosure are you using? What kind of substrate? Do you have multiple hides? How are you heating the enclosure and how are you regulating the heat?
There's really not much we can tell you unless you can give a lot more specific information. The statement "the temp in the tank and humidity r all fine,"from what i can tell"." is very vague.

Re: is this bad?
Our first little guy took about 3 weeks to get eating but now heis a garbage disposal so give him a few days and try it again. Once you get a good method working don't change it

Re: is this bad?
One more thing I just thought of I would leave him alone till at least friday then just feed him. If your puting him in a seperate tub and feeding F/T add snake add mouse cover and leave him set for half an hour or so. That is what finally worked for us sounds like he is still a little stressed. Hope he eats for you soon I know how this can feel

Re: is this bad?
temps do seem a little low, might wanna try bumping them up to about 90-95. but yeah don't try feeding every day though. keep on schedule, and for now keep handling to a minimule.

Re: is this bad?
He's exploring, I would try to feed him once a week only. It can get frustrating, but I'm pretty sure he'll get the point.
