    Snake staring up? (almost seems like star gazing but none of the other signs)

    So my girl seems to stair up into the sky a lot for no reason at times, sometimes doing it for minutes on end (seen her do it for like 10 minutes) and it almost seems like shes swaying back and forth while doing it but she doesn't seem unhealthy.. shes gained 40 grams since I got her, she hasn't refused a meal.. temps are 91 hot side.. 80-83 ambient, and 50-70% humidity.. Do any of your snakes do this? Had a friend on here said it didn't seem like anything to worry but never a problem with getting a second opinion.

    I've seen normals along with other snakes do it. No idea why, though it's interesting to watch.

    I've seen it before with my animals. Its normal unless they are breathing with their mouth open or their nose/mouth looks snotty or bubbly.

    Man my 11 Yr old Ball will do all kinds of weirdness . Like press up against the glass vertical for 8-9 inches flat like a Gecko.

    It used to scare me when he was coiled, except his head and neck would be twisted 180 degrees. I thought he was dead the first time I saw it!!
    I opened up the cage and rustled around to get him to move. What a relief!

    I'm not surprised by anything anymore.
