My snake is a weirdo

So my husbandry is spot on and my snake is a glutton. There are no signs of RI so I'm pretty sure my snake is just weird. He gets active when he's hungry (which is quite often) and sometimes chills like this. Does anyone else's snakes do odd things like this. I've had him like 6 months and now that he's comfortable I'm noticing some personality quirks. He definitely knows I bring his food and is extremely interested in me which I really wasn't expecting. He's like a puppy almost. Anyway what kind of weird things do your snakes do? Do any do this? Hes been sitting like this 30 mins now. I really have no reason to be worried just kinda curious. I've seen him do it a time or two before so prolly just normal.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...2750f7fcf8.jpg

All 40 of my ball pythons do that in some form or fashion. Sometimes it seems they chill in random spots to day dream or something. My pewter spinner will chill upside down on the top of his tub, that's pretty freaky.

My BP comes out at night and knocks over the acurite thermometer all the time and my red tail boa will sit with her head on the litter dam of her cage for hours if I open the door. She waits till I pet her head and/or body. She will also stretch out the length of the cage and sit on the litter dam except she is about 5ft and her cage is 4ft so she cant completely get her whole body stretched out on it.

My adult varies, for some stretches she must always have a a headrest.

Then for a week or two she loves scaring me to death.

I will come in to check on her and she is out of the hide all bunched up against the glass with her neck and head upside down.
You would swear that she was dead! :O

I have to concentrate and look at her midsection to see if she is breathing.

I hate it when she does that! :taz:

Then when I'm doing things in her room, she comes out of her hide and curls up, faces me and just watches me. And this is during her feeding strike, so she's not begging.:)

Mine goes on his branch and then has half of his body just dangling off the side of the branch.

He also will stick his little nose out of the cave, very cute.

I would totally have freaked if he had been laying upside down or anything. They can be so weird. Like right now. He has been hunting for 2 days so I buy a rat pup early. He interested but didn't strike for the 1st time ever. Now I have put the rat away and every time I walk buy he's following me around like he's waiting for me to bring it back and hunting around again. Does anyone know if the rat pup will be ok till tomorrow. I wanna wait till tomorrow to try again but the pup obviously isn't weened and I don't want him to be suffering or anything.

Gozer likes to poke her little head out of her hide when evening approaches. She also like to rest her chin on a log for a while before she decides to squirm around her enclosure. It is pretty cute!

She also seems pretty nervous when I have not handled her for a while and I look in her enclosure to see what she is up to. She will stop automatically and stare at me like "What the f#@$ is that!?" But once she smells me she is fine.

My big girl also acts like a lap dog and being too big to wedge into the couch she just lays there and buries her head I'm my hand like a tiny cave and I rub the top of her head and jaw muscles. She seems to love it and it's her go to move when she's out.

Mine has no fear. Lately he's been coming out and staring at me when I come up to cage. At first all he did was hide now he wants out every day. Then dosent wanna go back in.

Is out doing this during the daytime?

He was it's almost like he's more worried about getting out than eating. He's shed once and ate twice since then. He is way more active at night in general

Mine used to do that. He now just usually makes a few laps at night. Knocks over the thermometer and makes the branches scratch against the glass.

Don't know if this is weird, but my girl will hide in the back corner of her cage. Doesn't matter where I move that hide, she goes to that corner, or she angrily hides in her other hide till I move that hide back (most of the time she stays in the corner). Temps are right, eats like a champ, And is only active at night.:snake::gj:

each individual BP seems to have its own quirks:rolleye2:

True story. Mine likes to climb my glasses by going between my face and the frames and now she is fat enough that she will push the frames down my face. She will climb up into my mid back length purple hair like she's going on an adventure and burrow around and settle at the back of my neck with her breathing in my ear. My snake has always been a weirdo. I love it :P

Kaa will only eat if he can jump for his food. As in he only strikes if he can do it up in the air. He won't take food that I present to him at ground level. He likes being dramatic.

And he also loves to knock his thermometer face down so I can't look in on his numbers without fixing it first. He never rests on it, just knocks it over then goes back to his activities.

Yeah, mine will do the "Girth Test" whenever she can, as if to say "does this make my butt look fat?" :)
