Bp head out side of hide?
I got a bp about 4 weeks ago and he likes to set with his head sticking out of the hide. Is this normal? He can fit inside just fine I have 3 different hides one on the cold side one in the middle that I keep the humidity around (75%) and one on the hot side all 3 he sticks his head out day or night.

Your humidity does not need to stay at 75%. 40-50% regularly with a bump to 60-70% during a shed is good.

Thanks for asking this for me, haha. My little girl has been doing this too, sometimes sticking her neck out and flicking her tongue like she's getting her hopes up for food every time I come near the tank.

Re: Bp head out side of hide?
I have six out of seven peeking at me right now! Totally normal. He is comfortable enough to peer outside and see what is going on so you must be doing things right. As stated in previous post you can ease up on the humidity a little, but it will not hurt him.
Congrats on the new addition!

Re: Bp head out side of hide?
My girl Eva likes to rest her head out of one of her hides on this decorative rock I have in there. It always looks like she's thinking it's really cute.

Thanks for the reassurance
Got my first snake, a young BP on Friday and woke up this morning (Tuesday) to see it's little head sticking out of the warm hide and was immediately concerned. Quick search led to this thread to learn this is normal behaviour.
This forum is a terrific resource, thanks!
