Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Any thoughts?
I needed my rainbows cage for my new hybrid so i moved her last Thursday to another cage.She has been soaking ever since the move,no matter how many times i move her she just goes right back in.Temps are good and she does not appear to be in shed at the moment.She has never been a soaker and I'm not coming up with any reasons why she is acting like this,Any thoughts on this?

are there enough hides in the new cage? Is the humidity high enough? If the humidity is for sure high enough, and there are plenty of other hides, try a smaller water bowl that she can't fit in. She might feel secure in the new cage in her "hide" of a dish. She probably is just stressed at the move.
How different is the 'new' cage from her old one?

The hides are the same exact ones from her old cage,one at each end.
She was in a vision 322=36"W x 23"D x 21"H,she is now in an aquarium with a custom wood top that measures 4 feet long and 1 1/2 deep.Not an ideal cage but with the top it easily holds heat and humidity very well.
I was thinking of a smaller water bowl too until she settles down a little.

Is the top all wood or half wood and have screen?
What is the humidity reading?
As far as BRB's go you really don't have much to worry about with soaking. They are extremely resistant to the problems associated with constantly soaking in other snakes.

The top is all wood with one side having a hole cut to hold a dome fixture with a CHE,the other side has holes drilled for cross ventilation.The humidity hovers around 75%,she has perfect sheds every time.
I'm not really worried about her just curious as to why she would soak for a week,she's never been a big soaker.I'm going to try some tighter hides and see what she does.
One thing i forgot to mention was she went from eco earth to outdoor carpet,she did like to burrow so that might have something to do with it.

I would probably go with the fact that she is stressed a little, and sees it as a means of "escape" so to speak. If nothing has really changed except for the cage itself, and temps and hides and humidity are the same, I would imagine it is as simple as an issue of security for her. I wouldn't worry until there is a reason to worry.... if that makes sense.
