I know...I've kept BPs in the past...they can be frustrating. Like when we cannot decide about something, I think they "want to eat" but their instinct over-rules
their stomach. Remember that in the wild, a snake that gets stuck with a meal when it's too cold to digest can actually die when it spoils in their stomach.

Natural selection has weeded out those that made that mistake- those that didn't make that mistake went on to live longer, breed & pass their genes forward to
the frustrating pet you now have... They had no way of knowing that humans were going to come along with RHP's & thermostats, & build them "condos", lol.
