Roo and roswell have been caged together for a few weeks now (ever since the mite attack). They both had mites so we caged them otgether and treated them the exact same. They shared a cage, a water bowl, and for some reason their hide. There are 3 hides and 1 partial hide. They choose to bunk together. They seem happy. They lay there all day.. and lay there some more. Roo just finished her shed, and roswell is not far behind. They are doing things like shedding together now. But i think there was some talking behind my back, while i was sleeping. We fed Roo today. she has never had a problem eating before. My girlfriend has had her for about a year and a half now, and Roo ate the same way every time. She would strike, coil, and eat head first. Today she ate butt first. Something she has never attempted in the year and a half she was owned. Now she seems to have the same taste for butt Roswell digs. What up with this? Are they talking to each other about what taste better? Can snakes pick up habbits from each other. I can see they do have personalities, and individual characteristics, but can they change their behavior when influenced by another snake?
