Rosy sleeping upside down
Along with the new BP my boyfriend brought home a Bay of LA locality Rosy Boa two weeks ago, she is roughly 9 months old and seems overall to be doing well. Except she likes to scare us by sleeping upside down. Is this normal? When I first noticed it I panicked and went to go check, when I opened up her tub she flipped her head over to flick a tongue at me, but didn't try to hide or right herself. I scooped her up, and she slowly righted herself. She seemed to be fine and explored around me hand before I put her back and she slowly went to her hide.
I'm used to handling corns and the hognoses, which always seem more like spitfire compared to her. Is this normal to be this chill for a young snake that isn't used to us yet?
She is in a sweater tub, with the hot side mat thermostat set to 92* with the top of the substrate being 88*, the cool side sits in the high 70s.
I'm offering water once a week for a full 24 hours.
She ate a pinky last Monday, and I plan on offering another tomorrow.
She is always on the hot side of the mat and I catch her upside down about 25% of the time.
