So my Snake did something different today....

Ya, that happened when I tried feeding him a fish while holding the fish, since I've read you can do that with Garters. Wouldn't take it though(Still won't, I try every other feeding), so I put it down and I was getting ready to put him down as well when he took it. Since then, I've always held him when he feeds. I figure if I do that, then I won't have to worry about him mistaking my fingers for food, and also, he may never regurgitate when I handle him...At least, hopefully not.

I haven't had that happen yet, She always eats her food then I give her a good 10 minutes to chill out and then I pick her up and put her back carefully keeping her weight distributed as even as I can to not make her uncomfortable. Sounds like you have a pretty awesome friend there though for sure!

Ya, I'm glad I got him. Just received a new snake this morning, and I hope she will be a great snake as well.

I've had a few reptiles that do this. A couple of my T. ordinoides have done this before. As soon as my female finished giving birth, I put her in the bathtub with a couple inches of lupewarm water, and she drank until she couldn't breathe, and then caught her breath to keep drinking. When I put her back in her tank, she opened her mouth and leaked a bunch of the "water". My old bearded dragon did the same thing after she gave birth. Ive had males do it too for no apparent reason. Maybe they just forgot to drink one day and decided to make up for lost time.

Huh, I wonder why they do that. Makes me feel better knowing my snake isn't just being weird though.
