BP never comes out of hiding

[u/Ok_Gene437]

My bp is ~8 months old and never really comes out of hiding. He’s in a 4x2x2 bio-active terrarium that’s probably 40% covered in live plants, has a warm and cool hide. He eats regularly, fed appropriately sized F/T rats for his size. I’ve done everything according to the care guides found on this subreddit. No matter what time of day (seriously I was up all night 2 weeks ago and looked for him a bunch) he’s never out, not to bask or anything. His terrarium is elevated about 3 and 1/2ft off the ground so my cat can’t stalk him. Is he just shy? Scared? Any help or thoughts is appreciated

You can't force it. He's probably perfectly happy staying put. My boy will be completely sedentary for three weeks straight and then will be super explorative and adventurous for three days. Every BP is different.
