Does anyone else's BP do this?

He likes being wrist wear. He wraps himself really tight around my wrist and just chills. Is he trying to strangle my wrist are does he does he's an accessory?

Some of mine do this too, whether it be wrist, arm, shoulder, or neck. Hee hee.

prolly likes the warmth.maybe you should check your husbandry

That's the only way they can hold on. If some big monster(BG) picked you up, would you just trust that he's gonna hold on, or would you grab some arm hair?

It's normal

Not all snakes wrap, some want to crawl, other's want to bite. I wouldn't think I'd worry about it unless you feel him trying to constrict tightly.

Hey, at least it's not stiking at you!:snake:

Two options have been mentioned and they are both correct.

If he's cold when you pick him up, I would certainly check my husbandry, however; if all is ok then it's normal, and like BG mentioned, he's just holding on (and possibly trying to remain warm). :)

My newest baby likes to do the same thing, only around the palm of my hand.

He's the only one who does it, but he does it every time I pick him up.

I think it's cute.

If temp's are ok...then it's normal...mine tends to do this often.

thats suppose to be how they got the name "royal python" cuz cleopatra is said to wear them around her wrist as bracelets

My 7 foot male rainbow boa does this and basically cuts the circulation off to my hand! :gj:

my wife was holding our 20 in BP the other day and it went up her chest and around the back of her neck. From there he proceeded to wrap around her neck and squeeze as if he was trying to strangle her or loosen his skin... he just wrapped around her neck and kinda gave her a massage.

He's definently not trying to constrict you. Just holding on!

They do this when they feel insecure! If you move around alot or if he doesn't trust you! They must have at least their tail curled around something so they can't fall down and they feel more secure!

Cute picture :)

A very important part in handling any animal is - support the bum! Being supported feels more comfortable and safe :) My BP relaxes like a big spaghetti noodle when I'm offering him good support.
