Re: Corn snake watching TV???
Our Boas' viv is across the living room in a direct line with the TV. Our sofa is in front of their viv. One night my husband was watching TV and Zig, our male BCI was sitting, head on log watching over my husband's shoulder. Hubby fell asleep and his head lolled over and blocked out Zig's view. Zig then raised himself up (like the Python in the pic) so he could look over my husband's head. It's not the first time he's done that. You have to see it yourself to believe it. I wonder if it's the movement on the TV...but then again maybe the snake likes watching TV. Wonder if his favourite channel is "Animal Planet":D
Re: Corn snake watching TV???
I have a baby corn that's just getting big enough to even hold (just big enough so I don't have to make sure and get him a small pinkie). He's getting this look around his mouth like he's growing a moustache. I thought it was tiny little heat pits. Guess not.... I should get out the magnifying glass and have a good look.
Re: Corn snake watching TV???
Boas do not have heat 'pits' but DO have heat sensitive scales. All Boids have heat sensing mechanisms on their heads except for I believe the aspidites (womas and black headed pythons)
Colubrids do not have these ways of detecting heat.
