I have a burrowing noodle lol

Mine too:)
He is always burrowed under the aspen. Usually under his hide. I will lift it up and he won't be under either of them. Then we end up playing fine the boa nose lol.

I think its adorable too. My ball python will occasionally burrow, usually after I give him a mist and right before he sheds.

I suddenly had a flash back to college where my Kingsnake got out. Anyway, he did as yours did and burried himself in the substrate.

I love the pic of yours peeking out. Very cool.

Welcome to BPNet, Jeff. I hope you enjoy the site! It's chock full of wonderful people with varied collections of snakes, lizards, turtles, birds, dogs, cats, etc. Feel free to jump right in and post some pictures of that boa of yours. :)

Carmen's never burrowed but she loves her hides and hiding in general...even with a foot and a half of butt hanging out...

"You can't see me, I'm hiding!"

Sure, honey. No one is gonna notice your big fat high-contrast red and tan butt out there...:8:

Thanks! I have enjoyed this site for sure. Been reading for a while. I have kept snakes but its been a while. In college I kept a lot of wild caught native species, mostly for my Herpatology collections but kept a kingsnake as a pet for several years until I went off to medical school. Thats been just a few years ago, 10 cough cough and now that I have two girls, 7 and 5, I thought its time to start introducing them to taking care of animals large and small. Sorry for the run on...

Anyway, I will post some pics of my little male in about a week. I am letting him settle in before I really get to messing with him too much. I will start my own thread to go on so I don't hijack this thread too much.
