    Itching or wanting out??

    Paisley is rubbing her nose against the glass of her tank, Do BP itch or does she want out .. She is also roaming her cage non stop for about 20 minutes now. I have never seen her do this before, this is the one who was treated for mites this morning. I have not seen any on her or her cage today...... I just put her back in from having her out. Her temps are 88.9 cool side and 91.5 hot side. humidity is 59% I just got some pics of her doing this and photobucket won't let me upload pics for some odd reason. I will get them up asap. thanks in advance.

    IT probably isn't either, has she shed recently or does she look like she is going into shed?

    I feed my young balls every 4 days, until they hit 600 grams. I then move them to a 8 day feeding schedule. That might be the issue here, but it also very easily could not. I would try feeding, and see if she settles down.

    x2, I didn't notice that. the ideal temperature ranges are 78-82 on the cool side, and 88-92 on the hot side. I can almost defiantly say that the cool side being that hot caused your snake to rub against the glass. luckily that usually is easy to fix.
