do snakes move their eyes?

Sure do. My Antaresia Childreni (Childrens python) has very bright yellow eyes with black slits. very easy to see her scanning around.

I love to watch their eyes move!

yes

of course they do

I watch my YBs eyes move, it looks kinda cool how I can see him just looking around at random stuff.

I love how much my Borneo's look around and move their eyes. Always looking at everything. My boa's do it too but not as much. The Ball's I hardly notice but they do sometimes. The Retics look around alot too.

When I got my Blood python I noticed the pupil reaction. I never noticed that before. strange the things you learn along the way, yes?:snake:

I swear one of my corn snakes is a bit cross-eyed... she has those creepy red (albino) eyes already, and when she looks up at you they cross slightly. It's kinda goofy looking, but she's a cutie pie anyway. ;)

Btw, has anyone had a snake "stare you down" before? One of mine (can't remember who) did that recently, and it actually started to creep me out... looked like he/she was plotting something evil, LOL. :weirdface

tree pythons also got bright eye depending on color of the neo the yellow neos got yellow eyes and it is fun watching them watch you the red neos got red eyes and look neat when they turn to green and you got a set of blood red eyes watching you

I kind of have a story that goes along with this that actually happened tonight!!! lol It wasn't funny at the time. I walked by my bp habitat, and looked in there. My bp usually stays pretty tightly coiled in the area he mainly stays in. Anyway I walked by and say that his head and upper and lower neck were away from his body and his head was slightly cocked sideways. I thought he had died! I was freaking out and kind of tapped on the front and of course I couldn't see if his eyes were moving as he has dark eyes. As I started to open the top of his habitat he woke up! He was just asleep. I felt bad for waking him up. :weirdface:O
