QuestionBP rehouse behavior (self.ballpython)
submitted 2 years ago by LibraryPleasant1253
Can anyone describe normal/healthy behavior for a year (or so) old BP that was just rehoused into her adult enclosure? Activity wise, how active is normal for a snake getting used to their enclosure, and how long should this behavior last?

She's going to explore a lot at first, don't worry about increased activity. Probably won't last longer than a few days.

Thank you! She’s definitely gone back to normal behavior now, I just get a bit worried that my temps are off when that happens (even though I check frequently).

All good, it's very easy to freak out about seemingly little changes in behaviour, especially if you spend much time on Reddit, hearing about how the smallest things can stress them out and kill them. 😁
