BP Beharior

[hlh1]

I'm new to BPs and all seems to be going well. He's eating and shedding likes he's supposed to, but I have a question. He almost never comes out of his hide. I'd like to see him move around the tank some, but he just hides. Typically I take him out daily for some "exercise" which he seems to enjoy. Should I expect him to "hide" all the time?

A hiding bp is a happy bp. Ball pythons hide most of the time. My girl comes out for two reasons, to eat and drink. I get her out for handling some times also. I don't mess with her when she is in shed or right after a meal.

Well good, sounds like I have a healthy BP. I don't mess with him for 48 hours after feeding.
