Stuff you do when you take them out?

What sort of things do you do when you get your BP(s) out?

Do you let them roam the house / 'interact' with your other pets e.g. Cats & Dogs?

Do you have a 'pen' with stuff in for them to just do their thing?

My little Crowley has a whole room that is snake proofed to roam in, of course I supervise him the whole time he's in there. His room has an old bird gym that was for my mom's macaw and is now re-purposed as a snake gym by adding rope and java perches and also some plastic foliage. I also recently got him a scratching post for his room so he has a lot more things to climb. He's got 2 other small java gyms, and for when he wants to rest or hide he's got a tent (cat tent) with a heat pad under it and also 2 caves. 1 of those caves being in his old tank which is on the floor in the room, he usually loves to go in that one once he's done roaming the room.

Once he is done his "missions" in his room and had a little cave time or tent time, I bring him out on the couch, I put a blanket over the couch so he doesn't go in it... This snake has been in enough chairs and couches for his lifetime lol. I also bring out his favorite cave and put it beside me as I sit and watch tv with him.

He averages 3 hours out a day for the days he wants to come out. If he doesn't want to come out himself I don't force him and of course he doesn't come out 48 hours after eating or when he's shedding. Most times, once I put him back in his enclosure after his 3 or so hours of "missions", he just asks to come back out and rides the glass all cute, so I just know he loves his time out with me.

Depends on the day.


Most of the time, I just hold them in my hands and let them slither around. Or I will let them slither around the couch on my legs/lap.

If it’s nice outside and not too hot, I will take them to the yard to get some fresh air and sunshine. I might let them explore in the grass for a bit. This is also when I usually take pictures of them because they look amazing in natural light, haha.

Absolutely not. Snakes are not social animals. Snake's and other pets don't mix, period. Although they are our domesticated pets, they are still predators by nature. A lot can go wrong real quick. The risk simply isn't worth it.

Especially since there's literally ZERO reward to outweigh the risk.
When snakes are out other pets are not.

Could you put a photo up of your Java gyms?

No rooms in our house are snake proofed. I don’t take him downstairs anyway (unless I’m getting water for his bowl I put him round my neck) mainly because everyone else isn’t that fond of snakes. & my room which is in the loft/attic wouldn’t be able to be snake proofed, especially with there being spiral stairs in their an railings, tv wires, console wires etc.
I usually just plonk him on my bed and he just goes in & out of blankets, periscopes and checks the room out.
Because I only have him on the bed I was thinking about doing a pen for him so he’d have more space and things to do whilst he’s out.

Usually I take mine out and let him crawl in bed with us. Then if its not too hot I take him outside and the kids in my apt complex go crazy over seeing him.

Ok cool. I just felt it was important to stress that. For this particular thread as well as if any newcomers are reading and learning.

To answer your question more specifically though, it varies by species. But since you're asking about BPs I'll stick to BPs.

I just let them cruise my lap, shoulders, couch, floors, etc...
None of the rooms in my old house are fully "snake proof" so when letting them roam the room they're always in sight. I pay special attention to couches, electrical outlets, etc... where they may get themselves into trouble or disappear into a couch or something. They're slow moving enough that I feel confident letting them roam, but I'm always right there to grab them if need be.
The cat is always napping in the bedroom with the door closed.

That changes with my faster, smaller species. But since you asked about BPs I'll stop there.

If my snakes are inside I either hold them or I put them on something like the stair railing to climb, and I stay right by them.

When the weather is nice enough to take them outside they get to crawl around in the grass or in a small/young tree that is short enough I can still reach to the top if I need to get the snake out of it.

I also have a kiddie/wading pool that the snakes can use for swimming in shallow water. Some like that better than others.

The snakes & I, we mostly just play chess, or listen to music. ;)

But they have a lot of trouble moving their knights correctly...

I took pictures of the whole room. To snake proof it, I had to add a guard (i don't know what they are actually called, the thing to keep bugs out) at the bottom of the closet door so that he doesn't get his head stuck in there. The main door is too low for him to stick his head under so that one was fine. I put covers on any unused plugs so that he can't stick his tongue in there. I do have a computer that involves a few cables but I have them on his tiny old tank that he doesn't use. I also have a heated blanket and the heat pad for under his tent that are plugged in, in other spots in the room, this is why I supervise him the whole time he is in there as I don't let him climb the cables and potentially half unplug something and zap himself. I also don't let him go near where the computer cables are propped up. So, it may not be entirely snake proofed but there is barely anywhere he can go and be bad. The computer chair may look dangerous but I ALWAYS look for and find the snake before ever moving that chair.

Here are the pictures of his room, sorry some of em turned out a little blurry.

First is a picture of the whole setup
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...lDTH5gByY_9oVA

This one shows what I did to prevent him from going in the closet, it works wonders as he has tried very hard to get in and has never been able too. Also in this picture is his old tank with his favorite cave, he loves to go in there after he's done roaming around.
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...uGHeGxZHAOm-Zg

Here is his biggest and main gym that he uses, it was once for a macaw and now repurposed as a snake gym. The posters you see are pinned with pins that don't stick out so he can't possibly pull em out and it is a bunch of pictures of snake morphs for him to look at. 8"x10" were the biggest posters I could find of ball python morphs till i recently found some that are 36"x24", I have just ordered them and will be adding them to the room soon. Here is the site I got em from: https://shop.jkobylkareptiles.com/co...ts/jkr-posters
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...u3XGXylEdRio0Y

This is Crowleys smallest and first gym he got, all used from old java and rope perches.
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...Ruk3_4HY9wkBno

This is Crowleys medium size gym/perch. It is made for birds but works just as well for snakes. I also tie wrapped an extra perch to it, added a reptile hammock and some vine and foliage.
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...OziDbAcflygchs

The last picture I have shows his scratching post, which is still very new, just got it last week. He went on it a few times but I have yet to see him really climb it. Also in the picture is his tent with the heat pad under it and another cave with a bed in it.
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...0vdttmsbY47VWk

He is a very spoiled snake indeed but he is such a good little guy that he deserves it all. I love him so much and just love to spoil him as seeing him happy makes me happy. :)

Wow... Impressive. That's one well loved and spoiled snake. Good job.

He usually lays around on me while I'm on the internet or watching a movie. Sometimes he might want to crawl on the bed for a bit. He's only out with me in the bedroom cuz there are 4 dogs in other areas of the house

And btw, what I really do when I take my snakes out varies (depending on the snake & the weather): I like to stroll in my back
yard with them for some natural sun (yard is about 2/3 shade) but I don't put them on the ground (too "buggy" here). I used to
have a "snake-safe" room & let them roam for exercise & a good game of hide & seek, but I no longer have that room & space.
I've noticed that many snakes get very mellow when I sit in a hammock or my rocker-recliner chair with them...even to the point
where they doze off. (admittedly does nothing for their "exercise" lol) And I let them explore my bed or couch with supervision,
or play in their "tree" (on a sturdy vertical stand).

I was kidding about playing chess: they cheat & clear the board with their tails...

Nope, no holes in the floor or walls other than the vent where the heat comes in but he can't get in there and would never possibly figure out how to lift the vent off as it pretty much takes finger nails to get it off.

Both snakes but especially my ratsnake love to hang out in my bathrobe, including peeking out the sleeves and out the front part. It's perfect because it's tied at the waist so they stay inside and can't fall down out of it. I even got a lightweight one for warm weather! :cool:

I just made a snake tree out of a coat rack and some branches and leaves that they love.

Sometimes I let them out in the grass in the yard when the weather is nice, at dusk. And I was really impressed by my ratsnake's ability to climb straight up a tree trunk last week. I stand over them closely outside though! Wouldn't want to let them get away.

I always thought some snake version of a hamster ball would be neat! :rofl:

Actually, a well-secured pillowcase on the floor would probably work....;) (with no other pets around, of course)

When the apartment in warm and humid in the summer I set up a "gym" for mine. I have a very small apartment, but the living room is open enough. I have a ton of rocks (most 25-30 lbs - they are stable and can't roll or shift) that I move away from the walls, I drape a dark towel over some of them, I have lots of Java wood stumps and terra cotta pots that I can switch out of his cage that I get out all at once for him, and give him two of his hides to go into. He also likes to burrow in dried white rice (I have a dig box full of it for my ferret). He's usually active for an hour or so before snuggling up in a hide.

In the winter or when the temps are less ideal he just hangs out on the couch under a blanket for a bit.

I don't get to take him outside because I don't want the neighbors making a big deal out of it. Management has nothing against snakes directly but there is a clause that if any pet is overly disturbing / poses a danger to neighbors or if they get a lot of complaints they can ask you to get rid of it or move out. My older neighbor calls the maintenance person in a panic every time a black snake gets into the laundry room or in the hallway - if I'm around I remove them back to the woods behind the apartment...but I don't need her causing a stink either.

I love the idea of a snake tree! :D

I usually put my BP in my lap or let him explore my bed. I make a little "cave" out of a blanket for him since he gets nervous out in the open and constantly seeks out dark hiding places. Otherwise he'll crawl into my sleeve or pant leg himself and then stick his head out, which is super cute. He tends not to be super active out of his enclosure unless he's looking for a place to hide, so I can sit with him and surf YouTube with him. :)

I LOVE it! And, I HAVE a few that I was going to donate, one flannel & one percale. (the percale one has a zipper too) Hmm, thanks! :D

When I suggested a pillow case, I pictured them slowly moving it when they push from the inside, sorta like a hamster ball, but I like the "duvet"
idea even better! The only thing though, with all that activity, is I'll likely put a sheet of plastic underneath, just in case they get "inspired".

One word of caution: when a snake that is more visually oriented (like our rat snakes) have their view obscured (like in a bag of some kind),
they sometimes get cranky when we go to retrieve them: it's just them being startled & afraid, they may need a moment to realize they do
know us. (I noticed this with rattlesnakes years ago...they really resented being "bagged" presumably because they couldn't see what was
happening. They're pretty smart snakes.)

I used to get concerned back when he just had the medium size gym/branch. Every time he climbed it, I'd put my hands underneath him in case I had to catch him. He has become an excellent climber since then, he learned to climb and balance very well on this little tree. Since he got the bigger stuff he hasn't even shown any sign of struggle at all to climb anything. He's a pro now and I don't worry about him falling. Also, I hear in the wild they climb trees much taller then what I have and are just fine when they end up falling. So, I may not be concerned about him falling anymore but I still watch him and make sure he's safe while he's out in his room. :)

That's amazing! Looking into building something like this for my Noodle at some point, must be great for exercise! The foliage is a really nice touch to provide some security while climbing :)

Love the secures duvet idea as well, I think my BP Noodle would love that indeed. Adding some plastic protection underneath is a good precaution too lol!

We have a rocking chair in our snake room, so we "rock and roam" quite often! Pax likes to go up to my shoulders and try to coil around the rungs of the chair.

Mine do the same, but instead of my climbing up my pant leg, they climb in through the "pee hole" in the front of my pajama pants. It was weird at first, considering the location they enter, but they obviously don't know "whats in there" hahaha.
They also love my hoodies. They'll hang out in the hood or the front pocket. They've become big fans of my hair too, now that it's long.

Even stranger when they come out that way...:O...:rofl:

I used to have a little tree that I would put the boas in when smaller but most have outgrown it now, I often put them on a pair of step ladders, they quite enjoy the excersize on there and if I'm in the garden I've a shaped bay tree they like to explore in

I think step ladders are an excellent option. :gj: Plus they fold up out of the way.

Hahahaha, yup. Sometimes they'll just curl up there for a bit. Which makes sense, it's dark, warm and secure. And then I'll feel them moving and a little head pokes out, hahaha.

This is such a fun thread to read! Valyndris, your playroom for Crowley is spectacular! (I wish I could bring my two to visit it, but knowing them, Iggy would immediately pick one hiding spot to settle in and ignore everything else, while Ravus would just nyoom around indecisively until he eventually pooped on something.) And Craig, your description of the "pee hole" entry point into your pajamas got a really undignified snort of laughter out of me, I wasn't expecting such a mental image.

On typical days, I just bring them out to crawl around my hands and arms for a bit, or to sit on my lap while I read or watch videos. However, on occasions when I have a little more inspiration, I like to do little "themed" photoshoots with them, such as plopping them on tiny furniture --

-- and introducing them to similarly sized friends. :)

I've got a few more photo op ideas that I'm hoping to try out in the coming weeks, including having them "model" next to some of the snake-themed jewelry that I own (I accumulated quite a lot in the years before I was able to own a real snake, haha).

I've got a few more photo op ideas that I'm hoping to try out in the coming weeks, including having them "model" next to some of the snake-themed jewelry that I own (I accumulated quite a lot in the years before I was able to own a real snake, haha).

:hijackd::hijackd::hijackd: You really should start your own thread for this question....;) It's several miles off-topic.

I almost forgot, another snake "toy" I have is something I found in a thrift store: I have NO idea what it was ever used for (nor did they, lol), but I bought it.

It's a solid wood "thing", made of a vertical piece of 5/8" thick wood (about 12" wide and 3' tall) with a wider, heavier base so that it stands on it's own, and
a mini-pitched "roof" (for looks); thru-out the vertical body it has round 2" holes smoothly drilled out. It was in "new" condition...the only thing I did was coat
it with a safe water-proofing product, and now it's used by my snakes as a "climbing wall". :snake:

You should have seen the look on the face of the store clerk when I bought it & told him was I was going to use it for :D but they were just happy to sell it.

If you've never gone shopping in a thrift store, you've been missing a good resource...it's a treasure hunt, you never know what you'll find, & the prices are low.

No worries. Just wanted who to know uses them and what they think of them.
