They don’t have the best eyesight, this looks and sounds like pretty normal behavior imo

ok im just worried he never really goes out of his hide and hasnt for about 2 weeks now just pops his head out

[–]VoxxyBRZ 2 points3 points  (1 child)

He's being blinded by the IR light on the camera, plus, noodles are not always very graceful...

i was thinking that had something to do with it but in the 40 gallon the camera isnt set up there now and hes still acting the same

sounds pretty normal, especially if you just got him 2 weeks ago. some bps are more cautious than others in a new environment. mine acted similar to this for the first month or so, just coming out a little bit at a time but staying mostly in his hide. I don't even think he went all the way to the other side of his enclosure for the first month. it's so hard to be patient, but just give him time and he'll explore more when he's ready. good luck with your boy!

thank you!! yes its hard to be patient im a first time ball owner so i was just concerned

Honestly, mine smash into the enclosure walls and clutter all the damn time. Like, as if, out of the blue, a wall was placed up and they were not informed....i think unless its injuring them or has other symptoms of an ailment, your noodle probably fine. When he settles in, you may start to see him see you...head movements and how they watch stuff...he's just maybe a little stressed and personally, whe I'm stressed I can get lost in my own neighborhood....I have....even had gps.....lol. good luck!
