    While there will always be exceptions to the rule, the behavior you are discribing is not very normal for a BP. BP's tend to spend a large amount of time in their hides, provided the hubandry is correct. If an hide is too hot or too cold, the snake will not want to be in it and will seem very inquisitive and active as it travels around it's inclosure. For a BP, this is most often a sign that they are stressed and something isn't right with the husbandry.

    Double check the Care Sheet I linked earlier and if you are using a glass tank eclosure, you might want to take a look at this:

    A simple trick that seems to work well with glass tanks is to cover the back and sides with craft paper or anything that will cover the glass. This gives the snake a better sense of security.
