How does your snake tell you they are hungry?
Spot wrecks his enclosure, and Noodle just stares at me, and stares, and stares....

My pythons will poke their faces out of their hides. If I see them like that on consecutive nights I know it's time to feed.
My colubrids will cruise day and night til they're fed.

dont know how to explain it, their movements look more precise/aggressive. sometimes theyll rub their nose against things (sounds like an RI but it isnt) and when theyre hunting they tend to stay in cover really well and stay low to ground.

My hognose will appear "laser focused" while cruising. He's definitely more stealth when "hunting" than when he's just exploring.

Depends on the kind of snake: BPs like to ambush prey so they usually can be seen expectantly peeking out of their hides at night, but other snakes that are
active hunters often follow any motion near their cages. Wave your hand at one of my rat snakes & you'll be chased (thru the glass). King snakes & bull snakes
& corn snakes (they're actually "rat snakes" too), & many more love to chase motion. Nothing "personal" though.

All of mine, BP included, will track me, shadows, or any movements. Of course the most obvious is when the Carpets are in panther mode when nothing is going on.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

These days, it's usually by text. Snakes today, am I right?
