I have read other articles, on diff. websites about snakes and other reptiles, can and do go into a stage called burmating... do you guys think this is true... My New BP, I am a rookie, but he is doing really really well...I had some issues about him getting flabby( loose skin) I believe it was just dehydration because he seems real fine now... On the burmating issue, He usually comes out of his hide about 9 at night, and stays out for about 10 mintues, and then he comes out later and stays for about 20 min.. but for the past two days he has not done this... Could this be him in a burmating stage!!! His Hibernation mode... Any answers or anything would be awesome Thanks to all, and please have patience with me I am new, and can get overwhelmed at times, but I am not giving up!!!
