Is your BP a TV watcher?

I'm new to BP's, grew up with the garter snakes and hognosed snakes we caught as kids years ago, so I'm constantly amused by my snakes habit of watching the TV or computer screen. They'll just curl around my shoulder and watch like its the best thing they've ever seen lol.

Actually it's probably because the screen generates heat and they're sensing it with their heat pits. But it is kind of funny to see them do that.

Yeah, I was pretty sure that was the case with the computer screen but I'm not so sure about the TV lol. One of my adult males crawls into my daughter's lap and goes to sleep while she watches TV but wakes up, crawls up and around to watch from her shoulder whenever she switches over to video games. I know its not the extra heat from the xbox console because we watch netflix through the console so its always on. He just seems to find something about the gaming much more interesting. Who knows. Maybe the TV gives off more heat when we're gaming. Either way you're right, its pretty damn cute lol.

My snakes don't...but my BTS does. :) He loves watching movies, and gaming in particular, so much that I always make sure his cage is in view of our TV. Right now, in fact, my beloved is playing 'Batman: Arkham City' and the big guy is up on his basking tile watching every move. :D

It might be something with the changing light and colors on the screen...
