What on earth is she doing??

[Jumpforyourlife]

She just hung out like this for a couple of minutes...what on earth??
I'm thinking maybe se smelled the shrimp I just cooked and was attracted to it?
Please tell me that's what she was doing because otherwise, she's just weird...







p.s I apologize for posting so much in the last few days....it's just really nice to have people to talk to who share my love for these little guys!
I post photos on facebook, but I don't quite get the same response. =/

Just some good ol' herp-derping. She's a herp, so occasionally she will derp!

She is simply being adorable! I love when my girls do this.

Hahaha, glad to know it's normal! I'd just put her up after having her out for a bit, I guess she missed me. haha.

just a ball python doing ball python things

I had to relocate my girl's enclosure to the kitchen for a couple of weeks and I did notice that she had a tendency to poke her head out and investigate while I was in there cooking. I doubt the smells register as "food", just something interesting. Or maybe she just wanted to watch the activity.

Looks like normal ball python activity, they can be very inquisitive at times, usually when I have mine out they sit like this, I assume it's to try and get a better view of their surroundings

Oh how cute! I love it when my guy does this kind of thing. It definitely seems to be normal ball python curiosity. They really can be quite inquisitive at times. Mine has made a habit of resting almost like this but most of the time it will just be his little nose and heat pits peeking over that cross beam on the tank. I have the same style of tank you do and he seems to love resting there. The funny thing is I only see him do this about 20 minutes after I put him back after handling. He will slither into his hide, make a few circles inside of it and come right back out and rest his nose against the front of the tank, almost like he is begging to come out. I think I may have contributed to this by teaching him that the door opens. A while back I noticed him at the front of the tank and opened his door for him to come out on his own. He has been lurking at the door after handling ever since. You really gotta love these guys, such delightful personalities. ^_^

She's looking for an escape route. My ball python would do this every day at around dusk. He'd come out, nose around the cage for about 20 minutes, try the top, and then back o the hide he went.
