Excited after pooping?

[pangolin]

I've had my BP for a month and a bit.

A week or so ago he pooped for the first time. It was a humongous piece of... former mice. He's around 25" and there was atleast 5" of poo. Little guy must have been pretty stuffed. There was also a fairly big piece of rock hard, jagged urate-looking thing in there, which I understand happens sometimes, so I wonder if he might have been a bit constipated... but there was no blood and his vent was fine. I gave him a mouse later that day...



Anyway.

Ever since that poop he's been going nuts exploring his tub from dusk till dawn (apart from digesting for a day). Nothing in his tub has changed and he does hide during the day, so I don't think he is stressing out.

Do your snakes get frisky after a big bowel movement? When can I expect him to settle down and stop wreaking havoc?

Your Snake Will Be Much More Active After A Bowel Movement But That Is Nothing To Worry About. Actually, I Think It Is Good To Have A Snake That Is Constently Roaming Around, Balls Are Usually Very Timid And Like To Hide All The Time. I Have A 3 Month Old Female Right Now And She Is Awesome, She Plays 24/7 And When You Let Her Out She Goes Crazy, Great Snake!
