Ok i havea wierdo.... I was doing a tank cleaning today,,,,,... and Hudinie hates it when I do that... He freaks out on me while I am cleaning the tank , and then Once I am done cleanign it and I put all of the hides, water bowl, placts, ectera back in to the tank l..... He cruises around like he has just got all new stuff. sniffing, and searching everything like it is in the wrong place or something........
Any one else get that kind of reaction?
Oh yeah and he is the only one of the three that does that to me.

Re: Odd balls
I have to say, all my snakes do that, not just the garters. The corns and the royal python spend ages slithering, exploring and dancing in a freshly cleaned viv. I guess it's the only real excitement they get so they make the most of it!

Re: Odd balls
Yeah. Every time I've cleaned an enclosure the inhabitants start doing inventory.

Re: Odd balls
Sounds like he's the only one that cares
I have some that same way. They don't care what I do to the enclosure. Others give me a look like I did something wrong.Steve

Re: Odd balls
A lot of (but not all) my snakes do this. They usually like to take a dump in the fresh water I just provided too! Thanks for that!

Re: Odd balls
I pulled a hide out once to rotate a new one in, and I swear it was missed! There was pacing and looking at me. More pacing. Then it was dinner time, and the incident was all but forgotten.
