Emily's Snake Thread

[guidofatherof5]

He looks like a mellow, relaxed snake. If he's resting his chin and not moving for a while there's a good chance he's sleeping. My female radix will sleep almost anywhere and if she's really sleeping I can touch her without her waking up - it's really disconcerting.

They do it as a joke. Many times I've let out a "Oh, no" thinking I had lost a snake due to the fact they refuse to move. Only to reach in, touch them and have them look at me like "what's going on man, I was sleeping"
The little jerks. It's not funny. It's not funny.

Yup, see the head resting thing all the time on Zena. On the water bowl, grapevine, den, floor, my arm..... Oh, and nice lookin' fella, does he have a name, or are you just not into naming your snakes.

His name is Proximus, but I mostly call him snakey

I have witnessed all of the above...snakes resting their heads on water bowls, snakes resting their heads on just about anything including just lying in the substrate looking like they are dead and scaring the crap out of me...heck, I have found Possum lying upside down not moving and he has really scared me to death! Little Joe's new thing is to just lie inside his moist moss hide all the time and not move...I have to open it up from time to time to check and make sure he is okay! Hermes sleeps under his water dish all the time...and Bella now lives inside a cardboard box...I rarely see her...I think she is going to shed soon. Garters like to mess with us to keep us on our toes!

Nice pics of a Handsome little lad.Also what plant is that in the 2nd and 3rd photo? It looks like it's made of craft felt lol

LOL They are pretty cool. I do believe it's called "Hens and Chickens"(?) It's a type of succulent plant. They grow like crazy! All you have to do is take a petal(technically its a leaf, those aren't really the flowers) and lay it down, don't even have to bury it, and it will start to grow. That's how we've ended up with so many

Cool I wonder if they would make a suitable plant for a snakes cage.

[guidofatherof5]

My snakes would dig them up and use the to start a shed. I don't think they would be harmful.
