Re: Help BP sudden behavior change
I agree that moving him out of the kitchen is a good idea.
BPs are a shy species and don't do well in high traffic areas. He's probably stressed and striking defensively.
But in order to get a more definitive answer to your question we'll need to know more. The more you tell us the better we can help.
- how are you heating the enclosure?
- are your heat sources regulated by a THERMOSTAT?
- what are your temps? And how are you measuring temps?
- are there at least two appropriately fitting hides?
- I know you mentioned handling him. I strongly advise holding off on handling until the animal has time to settle in and acclimate to his new home. News smells, new people, other pets (if you have any), etc... are all stressors and handling is the biggest.
I always suggest new keepers wait until the snake has eaten 3 consecutive meals without refusal before handling.
Remember,the more you tell us the better we can help
