hey, my snake goes through periods of just staying in her hide all day / night, sometimes this can last for a month or two.. then the next 2 months she'll be really active out every night, any reason for this?

also she's in 'blue' now, her eyes are cloudy but they dont go blue as she's a butter, skins dry so im 99% sure shes going into shed.. will she be alright shedding if she doesnt come out her hide?

cheers!

Hello there, don't worry about her, snakes are strange like that! The only thing you can really do to encourage her out is pack out your viv with a few nice fake plants and bits of branches, maybe a few kitchen roll cubes. They way she wont feel so exposed.

As for shedding, she'll be out and about at night to do it i'm sure. I wouldn't be overly concerned :)

Yeah, butters go crispy looking haha, with most light coloured corns it's the easiest way to tell besides the eyes :)
