    Roaming snake

    Seems like every week on day 5-6 after feeding.. When I come home and turn the lights on and mist the enclosure he gets really active and constantly trying to escape and roaming the tank. Should I try feeding every 5 or 6 days instead of 7?

    Not necessary unless your trying to increase the growth rate. You can always use those times as an excuse for a handling session.

    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

    Steve fell asleep holding our RTB the other night. Luckily she also was sleeping on his chest. But was under quilt so I didn't see her to start and about had a heart attack! No harm no foul but these snakes are so amazingly relaxing to hold and handle we both start yawning! Like taking Xanax lol

    Our 4 month old bumbe bee does the exact same thing. About 4 days after eating he becomes very active, right up until we feed him again on day 7. When we first got him (about 2.5 minths ago) he was forever in hiding. Only coming out to drink and eat. Now he's settled in and feeling more comfortable with us. We love it!! We all get hypnotized watching him move around and hanging from the foliage inside the tank. He will move right into the palm of our hands now every time we open the tank. I love their little personalities
