I don't complain about my snakes very often but lately I think they've been playing tricks on me. Cruel tricks
My big girls in the big enclosures have been coming out and sleeping in the open. Picture it. A large garter out in the open, head down and tilted to one side. For me it's a classic position a dead snake takes.
So, I panic and say things, while I hurriedly open the enclosure. While I do this the snake doesn't move which adds to my anxiety. Now I've got the stupid enclosure open and I reach in and touch the snake. It still doesn't move so I go to pick it up. Now, the silly radix wakes up and looks at me like"what's wrong".
This has happened half a dozen times this week and I'm beginning to think they're doing it on purpose.
I love the fact that they're comfortable but this is extreme.
