One of my adult girl radix groups are very active tonight. I've never seen the whole group out and cruising. They are all acting like they want out. When I opened it up I had about 6 of them crawling up my arms and on my shoulders. They are very restless.
The only thing I can figure is the weather is having some effect on them. We have a big snow storming moving into the area. Does the barometer act the same for a snow storm as it does for a rain storm? If it does than that might explain their behavior
Any thoughts or ideas?

Well, I am no expert, but whenever there is a thunder storm, my snakes seem as if each one of them is getting chased by a mongoose.
So, I persomally think they have a natural sense of weather.

Nearly every living thing on earth can sense sudden, minute changes in atmospheric pressure. Since you're in tornado country, such a reaction to sudden dropping air pressure, such as that which occurs with thunder storms and approaching tornados, would be a good thing. Personally, I've never seen snakes react in any such way, but they weren't midwest snakes either. Birds of all kinds usually sense the storm before it happens though.

The storm is here and everyone's calm and back to normal this morning.
