strange behavior
For some reason my bp has been acting kinda strange the past few days. He sometimes comes out during the day and slithers around his cage almost in a desperate fashion as if he's really trying to get out. He seems really jumpy as well , and has not ate a mouse since wednesday. He usually eats a mouse on wednesday and saturday no problem. My temps are good and have not changed , there is no traffic near his cage, and im definately not over handling him...does anybody have an idea ....hormones maybe ??

Re: strange behavior
If all the husbandry is correct, he may just be restless. It happens

Re: strange behavior
I currently have him in a 10 gallon tank he is about 2 1/2 feet 280 grams. as for the temps it is 92 on the hot side 86 on the cool, and humidity is around 55-60%. I was actually contemplating on getting him a bigger tank.

Re: strange behavior
From what you've listed, it sounds like the main possiblity would be the tank being too small. I'm sure it's not MUCH too small, but it probably couldn't hurt. That's just what it sounds like. Good luck!!

Re: strange behavior
86 is a little warm for the cool side in my opinion. I keep my cool side 80-83. Give him more of a gradient before you dish money to buy a new enclosure. 250 grams is not too big for a 10 gallon.
Also, what kind of feeding schedule is he on? and what size prey? He sounds hungry to me.

I think he just needs to stretch his legs
