    Hahaha I love it. He literally tied himself in a knot. Never had that happen to any of my snakes. They have gotten into some weird coils and stuff but never an actual knot lol. Too funny.

    And whats with the old shed left in there!!?? Omg bad owner!! J/K

    Re: Knotty boy

    that is awesome!!! iv never seen that before... did he unknot himself before it went down that far or did he stay like that... iv had my snake do some funky stuff but that tops it all... good looking snake you got their as well

    Edit: I have that same decoration you have but it woudnt fit in the t-8 so I have it holding the lid down on my boa's temp setup (glass tank) till I can order another t-8 lol kinda a bummer I guess ill hold on to it till I size up my 2 boa cages lol

    Whatever you do don't pull on one end while he is holding onto something with the other end, He'll never get undone!

    That is funny, never seen that before.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Ahhhh I was expecting someone to say something about that. I can assure you all my animals are under excellent care (especially my favorite snake levi^^^^ ) the shed was removed while he was eating to avoid a food response bite. I just wanted to get a picture before he "untied" himself

    It actually didn't bother him at all. The further he moved forward the knot just moved closer to his tail as his body slid through. I had to do a double take though when I first seen it. Scared the s#!+ Outta me at first because it looked so tight and I didn't think it would loosen while he's trying to eat. But retics never stop surprising me

    And he LOVES that tree he spends a lot of time curled up in the top. Actually eats out of it most of the time
