Snake Playpen?

snakes dont really have a desire to roam and explore...they kinda just want to hide. so any exploration you may see, that looks like them having fun...is them looking for a hiding spot.

I should say, this is mostly for the benefit of my colubrids. ;) The BPs don't care much for exploring, although Vinnie & Orlando often seem anxious to come out... my hognose and younger corns, however, are more than happy to slither around my bed for 20-30 minutes nightly. They don't seem to be trying to hide either, since they'll pause and chill right in the middle (or on my lap). Different species have different behavior, I suppose.

Oh, and I'm also interested in getting better photos, especially outdoors - where I would need something to keep them safely contained. :oops:

The one in your display picture... Can't see it well though. On my snake's tail, there is a mini snake. It is tan/beige, and you can sell the tail and head. Here it is:

you have clearly not met my snakes...lol. They LOVE to roam and slither about.

Here we actually but down a couple of comforters and then put down towels on top of that. Then my hubby and I and usually the son get on all sides and let them go for it. It is usually a pretty big space. Once they do their business....then they get to go off everything and wander with supervision. Henry heads for the book shelf....Samantha heads for the stairs (she goes up and down them):rolleyes: Elizabeth and Alexandra want to crawl on us. Isabella...just wants to get the heck outta dodge. :rolleyes:

This is the best I could come up with...:confuzd:

Don't want to hijack this thread but I couldn't help think what Gary Larson (the Far Side cartoons) would have done with the theme of snakes and a playpen! I think maybe he did actually , I'll have to check.
