Are you snakes "left handed" or "right handed?"
This is a silly poll .. .but according to this study, most snakes coil clockwise. What does yours do? If you have multiple snakes, vote for what the majority of them do.

Meanwhile, now I'm wondering if they coil the opposite way if they live below the equator? :rofl: (like water going down a sink drain)
"Objects not attached to the surface of the earth (water in a sink going down a drain) will create a vortex going the opposite direction. So in the Northern hemisphere, it moves clockwise. In the Southern hemisphere, it moves counter clockwise. On the equator, water goes straight down."
I thought the same thing haha!

Both Lan Fan the Japanese rat snake and Mazikeen the ball python are clockwise coilers.
