Funny garter behavior

[snake man]

I've noticed with alot of garters they enjoy playing peekaboo with you, I will be sitting near the tank and every once and a while I see Lucy peeking her head out looking at me but as soon as I look she shoots back in and this process is repeated many times. Anyone else notice this?

Many times. They focus on eyes.
When I first took in my only ribbon(T.proximus orarius) Shyblue would watch my eyes and jump if I would blink.

Their curious and want to see anything that moves but remember they are scared and bugger off.Their are so funny to watch.

Yup, all mine do this. And when I go out of sight, then slooooowly peek back around, they do the epic streeeeetch to the glass. So cute, so at that point I take them out and kiss their little bodies.

When I don't hold Mama for a while and I finally get to pick her up... She loves to rub her nose on my face.. Haha. She only does it if I haven't held her much in a few weeks. She also taps her nose on my lips sometimes. She's a good girl.

Derpy, when excited, will shake his head from side to side quickly with his mouth open. He's called Derpy for a reason . He has brain issues. Aside from those, he's a really happy and healthy snake.

I love the fact you have kept derpy dispite his "issues" shows alot of dedication and class.

I couldn't leave him to die outside... When my mom caught him she said he was slithering sideways, and I felt bad... So I kept him. He used to have a hard time climbing his sticks. He'd climb up and slide off sideways. He never leaned o hang on to the branches
He'd try sooooo hard to climb up all of his sticks, only to fall off shortly after getting to the middle. He's a huge sweetheart though.

If people only saw others that way.

Even know I feel bad for him, it is pretty hard to if you look at everyother aspect of his life.
