is this normal?
I know I tend to get overly worried about every single little thing, but it's only because love my babies.
Dyna's energy had been low.
I noticed it yesterday but figured hey maybe she's having an off day.
She climbs up on top of her fav plant and sits there... alllll day long. I go to bed she's on the plant, I wake up.. she's on the plant. I come home from work, she's on the plant, I handle her, put her back.. she goes right back to her plant.
Is this ok? She ate a live pinkie last Friday (I'm going to attempt feeding tomorrow again)... she pooped (on me) like 3 days after feeding.
Her current temp is 88 on the warm side and 78ish on the cool and humidity is at 45%. she has 2 plants to climb and one to hide under. She also has a cave, a overturned log, a moist hide, and her water dish.
I don't know what the deal is, but hopefully she comes to.
I did notice that the only time she drinks is when I handle her and put her back in the tank is that normal?
Haha, I thought the questions were over for a while, but here we go again....

Your temps and setup are fine. She's behaving like a proper snake. Though it seems like she's always in the same place she is nocturnal and probably does more when your asleep than you are aware of. As long as you keep those temps she will not brumate (hibernate). ANd if you are not planning to breed her there is no reason to change temps.

As the others said, this sounds perfectly normal. Snakes are not overly active during the day, they are on the whole nocturnal reptiles and she is likely to be quite active at night when you are not there to see her. She sounds quite settled if she is sleeping out in the open, and it just seems that she has found her favourite spot in which to rest.
Couple of questions to clarify things; how old is she? And I wondered why you are feeding live food?

I can answer that lol...Dyna is approx 4 mths old. She is feeding her live pinks reason being she went without eating for a couple weeks so she is trying to get her back inthe groove until she will start eating f/t again. Dyna was raised on f/t but is being contrary.
