My Sunglow girl has been home for a few days now and I noticed some strange behaviour (or it may just be normal for a Boa). She likes to rest against the sides or the glass with a good portion of her body upright. I read somewhere about 'star gazing' with relates to a disease, is this normal for Boa's to act this way? The temps are fine, but the shelf she likes to sit on does reach a higher temperature as the heat rises.
I've not found her cooling off in the water so I don't think its too hot, hot spot is around 92f with the cooler end 80f, humidity is ok between 50/60.
She also won't use a hide, she's got three but has never been in one :confused:
Also I noticed her tongue tends to curl down 180 degrees when flicking?
She's vary inquisitive, not lethargic or anything. As she is my first Boa I just wanted to make sure she's ok?
