    What exactly is Stargazing?

    I was watching videos online and in some videos, the comments claim the snake is just exploring.

    Sometimes on the SAME video someone will say something about IBD which is apparently fatal. (Disorder or disease?)

    So what is the difference between stargazing and just trying to push their shoots against the top to move it?

    Secondary question, what can cause a snake to have seizures? I ran across the "rave snake." Which is a very violent snake seizure ending with what appeared to have been the snake snapping its own neck...

    Re: What exactly is Stargazing?

    The difference is fairly noticeable once you know.

    In stargazing the snake isn't moving around and it usually has its mouth held slightly open - there also is no tongue flicking to any great extent.

    This pose is also often seen with R.I's as the snake struggles to breath through blocked airways.
