I fed my bp(about 3ft) a mouse on the 25th and for the next two days he stayed in his hide box(I know its normal). I heard you are supposed to leave them alone for around 5 days after the eat but last night I was checking on him and he was crawling around his cage, same this morning. So should I give him another day or so or do you think I can take him out for a bit?

True they may not have the bulge but the adults themselves take a long time to digest...ever get poop with hair that makes you think what a regurge? I swear the bigger mine get the bigger the poo and longer it takes....I went to feed today and the cage has been clean all week...what do i see a big SH** sitting in the middle so i almost got ate myself trying to clean the cage before feeding..LOL
Congrats on the latest laying...oh and dont you know not to pester a woman in labor...LOL
