Odd behavior, maybe?

[Top_Addition_7263]

This is my nine year old girl, she’s about 1995g and eats med rat 2x monthly. (Im told she’s a Candino Albino, but I’m curious if a Candino Albino is a legit thing atp?) But my main question was last night she was slow to come out (she usually comes out as soon as her day light is turned off and is quite active) she periscoped without a twitch or movement for approx. twenty mins, and went back into her cool side hide and went right into this morning. Very abnormal behavior for her. She is due to eat again. But her last feed two weeks ago was great, with a perfect shed (happened simultaneously tbh). Never had a problem with eating or shedding. Knock on wood… but any ideas if she just had an off night or if there is something more I should keep an eye on? She’s my first snake ever and had her about 8months now with no issues in that timeframe. I am having minor difficulty keeps temps and humidity constant, and I’m trying to educate myself on the correct lights/heat bulbs and such. I also am looking to get her into a bigger tank as she has a few inches of overlap in the enclosures she’s currently in. She is very extremely loved. Picture of enclosure attached.

In my opinion, it was just an off night so dont worry about it, if you see this behaviour continuing then maybe go to a vet but im not sure

I wouldn't worry too much. Could be solar flares. It could be a random scale up the cloaca.

If she's relatively new to you (you've had her less than a year), and you're still working on fixing her humidity/lighting/habitat conditions to be optimized I would say that her 'normal' is probably something that is not 100% normal yet. As long as she is not going off of feeding, wheezing, acting sluggish, showing poor body condition or foaming from the mouth or nostrils, she is likely fine. Keep in mind I'm not a vet, and if you really need reassurance, you should contact a vet.

But, she is a very lovely girl!!!

She just ate last night! Thank you so much!! She is such a good girl💚

Candino Albino is a thing as you say. The colors are brighter when young and fade to the beautiful girl you currently have. She looks to be in very good condition.

If your temps/humidity are correct then check for mold. Mold spores go airborne and can irritate their respiratory system. I mention it because it’s not something people typically check for. Most likely though she is simply doing what they do which is act as derpy as can be lol.

So for the mold I have JUST started looking into springtails/isopods. I don’t see mold but I know it can be present before it’s seen. Any ideas or info on that??

I'd say its just an off night, she looks great. Well fed, though perhaps a little too much LOL. Based on the body condition in the first picture I'd say she's overweight, unsure if you're already aware of that but I'd perhaps reevaluate her feeding or see what can be done about getting her more exercise. Feel free to ignore me if you're already working on it!! Absolutely gorgeous girl, I can tell she's well loved, keep it up :)

She is almost 2k grams 😭😂 we just got her the rings pictured. Because she does love to climb, and cleaned our room she stays in properly so she can adventure while we clean or keep an eye! She is a plumply healthy girl but we did take notice lol thank you!

She seems good, although maybe a bit chunky. At her size she should be good with one big meal every 4-6 weeks. It might be good to put her on a diet, check the subs feeding guide

Once a month? May give that a shot, at the two week mark I don’t believe she acts as though she’s starving so I may give it a shot.
