Does any one elses bp do this??

We have 2 bp's,many of you have probably seen pics of Lucy & Medusa..well first off they are 2 completely different bp's,Lucy is docile,chill,and lazy lazy..Medusa is skittish,on edge,and you can't stick a hand in her enclosure without her investigating 😂...anyways ive never noticed Medusa do this but every time i feed Lucy right before she strikes (and sometimes she does it for a moment while strangling her prey) she literally wags/whips her tail like a pissed off kitty cat!! As stated,ive never witnessed Medusa do this or any other bp ive seen but it has me wondering is she really just THAT odd 😂😊

Tail wagging is a well documented behavior but not every beep does it for the same reason or all the time. It usually pops up either during feeding or mating/courting and the theory that i run across most often is that it's linked either to a hormonal response or elevated frustration for the snake.

She only does it when its feeding time,she smells it and that tail starts going

I used to have an Angolan Python that would do that. She would literally smack that tail left and right..

That's exactly how Lucy is 😂

Here is a video of my Angolan "hunting" and smacking her tail around ;)

My cornsnakes turn into rattle snakes when the food comes out. My male cornsnake will rattle while he's eating. It's hilarious.

Only a good ol' smelly meal can get that tail wiggle LOL
