    What is she doing

    I have never had a snake before and two months ago I inherited a wonderful bp. She is about 2yrs and about 4ft long. I'm learning every day with her.lol She just finished shedding yesterday morning. She was out all day and when night time came, in her hide she went. Now it's morning and she is exploring her home like she is looking for something. Like I said before I'm still learning.

    I tried to feed her last night but she had no interest in it at all. Last time she ate was 3 weeks ago.

    She is most likely hungry. First and foremost, is your husband correct? That is usually the reason for food refusls.

    Feed when she's out and about hunting. Never know what time the first owner fed it.

    Re: What is she doing

    are you positive your temps are correct? how do you take your temp readings?

    she's probably just hungry. make sure your husbandry is on point. i've had Spaghetti refuse a meal for whatever reason, then the next day she's cruising around like "so what happened with that??"

    Are your thermometers and hygrometer the stick-on dial style? If so, they are wildly inaccurate (up to 10 degrees and 10%) and should not be used.
    Also, are you checking surface temps? Substrate temps? Ambient temps?
