My snakes are showing signs of a seasonal change. A lot of activity/cruising.
Anyone else noticing this kind of behavior?

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: Restlessness Fall 2012
Yea, mine has too. I was kind of wondering what was going on. So, is this something they typically do in the fall time?

Re: Restlessness Fall 2012
Days are getting shorter. My king has been more active but I'm chalking it up to being two days late with her meal.

Re: Restlessness Fall 2012
Why would they be more active in autumn?

Re: Restlessness Fall 2012
Very interesting! Yes...mine have been very active...all over the tanks...climbing in the trees...looking for ways to escape. Also a lot of soaking and shedding happening. I was also wondering what the heck was going on! Good thread!

Re: Restlessness Fall 2012
In part, at least. It's also worth noting that they're supposed to start heading for their respective dens. Originally Posted by -MARWOLAETH-
