I have a 3 year old female king snake. Over the past couple days she has not been using any of her hides. She has three- one in a warm spot, one in a cooler spot, and one suspended in the air. But currently she’s just been laying on top of her coconut substrate (switched from another substrate a month ago) behind one of the plants and has been there for about 4/5 days in the same spot.
She isn’t moving unless I prompt her too. Her eyes are clear so I don’t think she’s shedding. I fed her a normal amount of food day or so before this behavior started. She’s never done this before and is almost always in one of the hides.
Temp. and amount of light has stayed the same. I’ve been trying to spritz her cage once a day to keep humidity levels a little higher (this has been going on for about a month).
Should I be concerned? What could this be caused by? How can I make it better for my snake?
Unrelated- I have been thinking about upgrading her tank. Her tank is large enough for her now but I think she’d enjoy more slither room. I have a second glass aquarium and was thinking of connecting the two. Creating a snake bridge (?) between the two. If you have any thoughts or ideas on how to connect the two let me know!!
