My Circe has been very inactive lately, mostly, I suspect, because I have been giving her large pinkies and she needs a while to get them down her system. Well I went to a different pet store today to get substrate. Usually I use the brick thing that sponges out in water into earth type stuff. The pet store I went to didn’t have the same brand of brick substrate I always use. So I got the other brand and fixed it up in the viv and fed Circe. Well, I put her back in there and she will NOT come down. She is climbing all over the place trying to get away from the substrate. August seems fine with it.
Anyone else have this happen?
 
Are you sure she's trying to get away from it? It could be that it smells different so she's just trying to figure it out and is doing that by climbing on something that is familiar (I'm assuming that when you say she won't come down she's climbing on something). When I switched my snakes from the coconut fiber to aspen they loved it and kept moving around just to explore. It could be something like that, new stimulation - especially if you other snake seems fine with it. I'd just double check the contents and make sure there aren't any differences (shouldn't be if it's the same type of thing) and give her time to adjust. I'm sure someone else with more experience will chime in as well but that's what I would guess (if it's the only thing that has changed that is).
