So Koka still seems fine physically and she's been active, but a bit
too active lately, like constantly following the walls along her tank and climbing around all day and night. It's making me slightly paranoid that she's possibly injured herself while out and is stressed out because of it and that's what's causing the hyperactivity, but she slept totally fine the first day I got her back.
I bought cameras to keep a check in on her when i'm gone and I haven't seen her settle in one of her hides for the past day. She's constantly on the move.
Her husbandry is all fine, temps are normal and she has plenty of foliage to hide in and plenty of decor in her tank such as a big branch, a hammock, a half log tunnel, etc. She has a large tank as well so i'm not sure about boredom or stress from lack of space/hiding places. It's never been an issue before.
I looked up this behavior and apparently it's common behavior in males that are ready to mate and that this time of year is mating season for Corns? Is this true? I've noticed she gets a bit more active and does some glass surfing around February but has never been
this active, especially in the day.
Important to note I never actually have had confirmation Koka is female, I kinda just picked it and went with it lol.
So I suppose it's entirely possible she's actually a male. Perhaps the coldness during the escape sent her/him into a sort of brumation and that's why he/she could be suddenly feeling extremely frisky after warming up? I could be totally wrong as I'm not experienced with brumation or breeding at all.
Sorry for the wall of text, just been a paranoid snake momma lately as this whole ordeal shook me up and it's still a few days till the vet appointment, just wanna make sure she'll be OK till then and it's not a call for emergency.
Also thank you, blacktip. I felt very happy and very lucky to find her within a few days. I've heard they can go missing for up to a year or even forever!
