Stuff you do when you take them out?

If my snakes are inside I either hold them or I put them on something like the stair railing to climb, and I stay right by them.

When the weather is nice enough to take them outside they get to crawl around in the grass or in a small/young tree that is short enough I can still reach to the top if I need to get the snake out of it.

I also have a kiddie/wading pool that the snakes can use for swimming in shallow water. Some like that better than others.

The snakes & I, we mostly just play chess, or listen to music. ;)

But they have a lot of trouble moving their knights correctly...

I'm 40 years old and don't know how to play chess. So your snakes are clearly smarter than I am, hahahhaa. Maybe they can teach me one day.... :rofl:

Mine play Twister. They're very good at it.

I took pictures of the whole room. To snake proof it, I had to add a guard (i don't know what they are actually called, the thing to keep bugs out) at the bottom of the closet door so that he doesn't get his head stuck in there. The main door is too low for him to stick his head under so that one was fine. I put covers on any unused plugs so that he can't stick his tongue in there. I do have a computer that involves a few cables but I have them on his tiny old tank that he doesn't use. I also have a heated blanket and the heat pad for under his tent that are plugged in, in other spots in the room, this is why I supervise him the whole time he is in there as I don't let him climb the cables and potentially half unplug something and zap himself. I also don't let him go near where the computer cables are propped up. So, it may not be entirely snake proofed but there is barely anywhere he can go and be bad. The computer chair may look dangerous but I ALWAYS look for and find the snake before ever moving that chair.

Here are the pictures of his room, sorry some of em turned out a little blurry.

First is a picture of the whole setup

This one shows what I did to prevent him from going in the closet, it works wonders as he has tried very hard to get in and has never been able too. Also in this picture is his old tank with his favorite cave, he loves to go in there after he's done roaming around.

Here is his biggest and main gym that he uses, it was once for a macaw and now repurposed as a snake gym. The posters you see are pinned with pins that don't stick out so he can't possibly pull em out and it is a bunch of pictures of snake morphs for him to look at. 8"x10" were the biggest posters I could find of ball python morphs till i recently found some that are 36"x24", I have just ordered them and will be adding them to the room soon. Here is the site I got em from: https://shop.jkobylkareptiles.com/co...ts/jkr-posters

This is Crowleys smallest and first gym he got, all used from old java and rope perches.

This is Crowleys medium size gym/perch. It is made for birds but works just as well for snakes. I also tie wrapped an extra perch to it, added a reptile hammock and some vine and foliage.

The last picture I have shows his scratching post, which is still very new, just got it last week. He went on it a few times but I have yet to see him really climb it. Also in the picture is his tent with the heat pad under it and another cave with a bed in it.

He is a very spoiled snake indeed but he is such a good little guy that he deserves it all. I love him so much and just love to spoil him as seeing him happy makes me happy. :)

Wow... Impressive. That's one well loved and spoiled snake. Good job.

He usually lays around on me while I'm on the internet or watching a movie. Sometimes he might want to crawl on the bed for a bit. He's only out with me in the bedroom cuz there are 4 dogs in other areas of the house

Very nice!
I guess there are no holes in the floor / walls or anything for him to escape ?
Great job.
