Just an observation. Almost 36 hours ago I fed Lou the biggest supper he's ever had. 2-19g mice. I know, I know...rats are better. Expo on Sunday will remedy that. ;)
Anywho, today I wake up and Lou is missing! He wasn't in his favorite hide on the hot side. He was in his hide on the cool side. Maybe he is in the market for new real-estate?
No worries, but he has never gone into his cool side hide (both are identical from Reptile Basics, the black ones) until his shed a few days ago. It was kinda funny, as he shed, his hide was spinning as he twisted and turned! XD
He occasionally goes into the "front yard" of his warm side. Substrate temp on warm side is lower than the bare glass where he sits. I figured it's a new snakes lazy/cautious way to thermo-regulate. Is it at all possible Lou is now adapted/settled into his new home, venturing over to his cool side hide?
My, er, Lou's temps are pretty much perfect! 90-91 warm side, 78-80 cool side, ambient air temp around 81, humidity 60%. He's ate for me 3 times in a row, never refused supper! Alert, clean fresh shed, took a nice solid dump, tongue is flicking... Just caught me off-guard seeing him in his cool hide. Yay, that thing cost me almost 4$. Sorry about the book, ^. Any problems with what I described? \m/ :) \m/
