Dorks?

First thing I want to say is I love my BP's. But I've noticed the each one is their own special kind of dork. They each do the dorkiest things and make me laugh every day (except the days after feeding day, they just sleep then). Was just wondering if anybody else had dorky snakes.

When mines done exploring and being handled he'll crawl under my leg and just ball up until I put him back in his terrarium

We've got a couple that only seem to be comfortable in the most uncomfortable positions - between walls and water dishes, halfway in and out of hides, jammed into one corner of the tub - and before we switched to aspen, we were using paper for the medium tubs, and one of the carpets would hide under the paper just to poke her head up over the top like she was tucked into bed.

My BEL has a cold hide that is a half log pressed against the back wall. He will slither onto it, pry his head in-between the log and wall and enter into the hide from the top rear instead of just going into the front like most normal snakes.

My big, fat angel was put into a large tupperware yesterday to test out a hide I purchased, and she inspected the corners by smearing her little face down them and then turning her head almost upside-down before realizing she couldn't escape. So she curled into the hide and said, "FINE!"

I seem to find that ball pythons are just...bad at snaking.


My little guy tries burrowing into my shorts/shirt, he also likes to crawl up my chest and just look at me.

I have one who's freaked out by the hair on my arms. He wants nothing to do with crawling on or over my arms.

I notice mine doesn't mind the arm hair, but my leg hair he wants no part of lol. If I'm wearing shorts he'll only stay on the shorts an not go to my calf lol.

i have a couple dorky snakes including...

HAHAHA! I would love to see a video of this, as creepy as that sounds. "Laalalala WTF IS THAT"

I have a T shaped big branch im the BP tank. When she is on the go and cruising around she will fall off off the branch with a thud. She then kinda looks at me with "I meant to do that" look lol. Happens at least once a week lol.

It's not a BP, but my Kenyan sand boa absolutely loves my arm hair. She will slither down the length of my arm pressing her nose down just to get under it even farther. She must think it's black grass.

Not sure if it counts as dorky but one of mine likes to lay with his head resting on a dish or on top of his hide and look out into the room. It's adorable! He does it when he's completely outside of his hide as well as when it's just his head sticking out. We'll walk by and there he'll be. He does it on all different sizes of dishes and things, too.

Two of mine love making burrows and tunnels in their substrates :oops: Another always dig out a backdoor for his hides. Another is always climbing, sometimes she plops down instead of climbing down (maybe she falls asleep?) :rolleyes:

when they outgrow their hide so much they pretty much wear it as a hat while the whole sides are sticking out, their head is covered so they think they're save lol.

Well my BP regulates her temperature not by moving between hides, but physically moving one hide from end to end. Both hides are identical yet she favors which ever one started on the cool side ( I have switched them and she doesn't favor one over the other). Also note that I have decorations that should prevent this, but she must lift it up and over to move the hide.

Our pastel, Draco, is constantly "redecorating" his enclosure - to the point where he moves his hides off of his heat pad. He is so noisy moving his furniture around that he wakes my daughter up at night. I guess he gets bored with the layout of his enclosure or maybe he just likes to be cold. :confusd:

One of our normals, Burnsie, is definitely not normal. We noticed that he kept climbing all over his enclosure, so we put a branch in there for him. So much for being a non-arboreal species, but he is such a happy boy now - climbing and slithering for hours at a time. He's the only one who does this. :O

My sweet normal boy, Herbie, is the antithesis of head shy. This snake seems to LOVE kisses and will come forward toward my lips for a kiss. It just makes my heart melt since he is my favorite snake (shhh, don't tell the other snakies)! :colbert:

Monty the normal - loves simultaneous chin and head rubs. Will freeze in one position if I stop, waiting for me to start again. Loves to escape and hide mere inches from his enclosure.

Persephone the clown - loves to go to the bathroom whenever she's out :mad: Bowl tipper. Hide re-arranger.

Marbles the butter spinner - Always on a mission, never hides when she's out. "Gotta go mom, snake stuff, serious business." Epic wobblescoper.

Steve the pastel banana clown - Likes to hide under his paper towel under his hide. Super safe that way.

Thats just the balls. The rest of the serpents are equally as strange. <3
