#1840203 Catfish_82 View Profile	Sideways Hey everybody, Marle my blood is doing good so far, but today I opened up her tub for a feeding, and noticed that she was laying on her side. I’m curious, what could be the cause of this behavior? My possible reasons: -Her temps and humidity are fine. ambient temp is 82.7, hotside 84, coolside 80ish. Humidity 55%. -I’ve read some species will do this while incubating a clutch of eggs...she isn’t old enough to become preggers and besides she’s had no male companion, so unless she’s giving birth to the blood python Christ, then that’s not it. -She’s going into shed...although she isn’t giving any other sign of it, her colors aren’t dull, her eyes are clear and bright. Other than that she’s normal. So I’m stumped...any thoughts?
