Can snakes hold their breath? I didnt know what to do.... he just stuck the first 1/4 of his body in the water and his whole head was submerged. Im telling you guys... something is up with him. He is freaking me out!!!

Don't worry, they know to hold their breath. I dunno why he did it though.

It was so strange... its a metal bowl so maybe he saw his reflection??? I dont know. But i was just in awe and confused when i saw it happen. He kinda swam around with just his neck and head in the water and then moved on and kept hunting. I havent had him sexed but i am almost positive he is looking for a mate because he is NEVER EVER EVER this active, and wont eat.

Boas do this all the time. Some will even "blow bubbles" while submerged.

2 of my Ball girls play and snorkel in their water bowls. They poke their heads in and out, periscope, and slither in circles under water. I think some snakes just like water more than others.

My brb does this every time he enters his pool. I think its pretty cool. He once ate a whole rat completely under water. Now that was kinda weird.

I've seen my kingsnake do this too. Not sure why but I freaked out too. Guess he just felt like a dip.

My snakes will do this on occasion, the corns and ratsnakes more often than the pythons :3 Don't worry, they seem to know what they are doing and a healthy snake isn't going to deliberately drown itself! I've gotten to thinking it's cute rather than freaking out when they do it, ha ha!

Pheeewww i havent seen him do it since. By the way, i never realized how cute these icons/smileys were! I think i will start using them more.
