Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)

You know man, with all the pushing she does, it almost seems like there is something wrong with the set up like incorrect temps or humidity etc. I know you got it all set up right but you know how when a snake isnt happy, they try and get out. Dottie did it when i used cypress on her. The boas love it but Dottie hates cypress. She was out pushing all over the front of the cage. The day i switched her back to a coco husk(in this case Reptile Prime), she was quiet and went back to sleep in her hide. Caesar and Rosey are the same way with humidity. When i put fresh cypress in and it spikes really high with condensation on the glass, both Rosey and Caesar will push like crazy. Once i open a door and let them sit there with their heads on the litter dams, they quiet right down and after about an hour, they usually curl up by the open door and go to sleep or go into a hide and sleep. So i'm wondering if maybe something like a build up of heat or humidity might be causing her to go crazy and once you open the door and let her out, she cools down or dries out a little and is happy again. Just grasping at straws as like i said, Caesar and Rosey both do that.

For example, this morning when i got up, Caesar was pushing like crazy and the cage had condensation all over the glass. I opened the door and after caesar sat on the litter dam for awhile, he ended up going to sleep like this.....



And Rosey did the same thing....

Yeah I’ve got no idea at this point. The ambient temp is a tad warmer but it still only tops out at 79-80* air temps with the apt set at 73-75. I’d like it to get down to 75 but I’d have to crank the AC in the apt down to like 68-70*... not doing that because Mississippi gets stupid hot and I’d end up with a $300 utility bill or something crazy. Plus when it’s 100* outside 70* inside feels absolutely freezing
I let her out for an hour again earlier and she’s been sleeping in her cool hide since I put her away. Maybe a twice daily free run of the apt will keep her happy, who knows. Or maybe scale back to large or xl rats and feed every 5 days... I’m out of ideas
