She must really be stressing. I noticed that from last night until today she stayed in reltively the same spot with her head kind of looking up. She did not use her hides at all. She did not have a traditional hide in her hatchling rack so I was curious if she was scared to go in the hide. My first snake would not go in until I slid his head through and then he realized what it was so I figured I would try this approach. I slid the top to the side and she tracked the ceremic bulb. Shes terrified of it. After I slid the top over, she struck at the bulb at least 25 times in quick succession. Its a normal setup up, 20L, screen top, bulb and fixture on the screen. I put my gloves on and showed her the hide and she went halfway inside.

Has anyone seen them strike at the heating bulb? Im curious if she sees it as a large predator waiting above her.

Edit: Im going to wrap the enclosure in black background so she cant see anything except her enclosure.
