Hey everyone, I'm new on the forum but have had my GTP for some time now. Perfectly healthy snake, easily handled (even by my 4 yr old) and eats everytime. I recently swapped its enclosure style to a more decorated and natural looking cage vs my sterile PVC perch and paper towel style before. I've made a more natural look with fake greenery and coconut husk and some realistic (although fake) branches. Now my snake spends all it's time in one favorite spot only. Rarely moves to the hot side. In the past on the PVC perches, he moved over every once in a while...now nothing! Like I made a paradise for a Homer Simpson snake...lazy. Still eats and has the same temperament - but doesnt move around 99.999$ of the time. At least in the previous setup he would shimmy back and forth on the top perch every so often.



Should I go back to the sterile style of cage with almost zero enrichment? Lol. I thought the added plants and branches would entice a little more freedom...but it seems to have done the opposite.



Any thoughts?
