Makes me think that besides temp and humidity gauges in our snake enclosure it might be helpful to have a barometer in the snake room. I have a wheather glass, not the best type or barometer...but maybe I'll put it in the snake room.

Ya know...I think that'd be really interesting. If someone with a large enough collection for a decent study would make daily records of barametric pressure and snakes' behavior/attitude. A large enough collection of a long enough span of time might yield some interesting results.

I'd certainly be interested......Adam probably has his own accuwheather station next to his snake pad.....LOL


If one would do it, you'd have to have objective measures of the snakes being "pissy", something like number of strikes, number of hisses, etc.

You then have to see if "pissy behavior" as defined objectively was correlated with certain barometric pressures or changes in barometric pressures.....

Correlation isnt causation (u have to do a controlled study to pin it down) but it would certainly be an interesting to see results of such a study....
