    unique little personas

    I have been caring for 3 hatchlings/juveniles and I already have noticed their different personalities. The HET pied male is aggressive and likes to hang out on TOP of his hide smushed against the rack above him! Weird I know. The Ghost male is very friendly and calm, and likes to hang out BEHIND his hide! I tried moving him back into the hide, but he just prefers to hide behind it towards the back of the rack.
    The female piebald is friendly, but a ravenous eater, and she just hangs out in her hide like a typical royal.

    Anyway, it is so clear how different their behavior is from one another, I am surprised how personal reptiles can sometimes be!

    haha, that's so weird! Everyone stereotypes reptiles as having no personalities but each individual does behave differently. Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed reading this. Hmm... I wonder what Dewey's personality will be like... lol

    Yellow is my easy-going boy; shy but goes with the flow. always hiding and is a shy eater, too. my OG.

    Spaghetti is her own person; she does what she wants and i have to follow her lead. she makes it known when she's had enough of me and wants to be left alone. i've never seen her act aggressive ever.

    Coffee Bean is only a month or so old so she's a feisty little brat! she hides and acts normal with handling, but she'll try to take pop shots when she thinks she can. i've only been graized by her lil teefs.

    Exactly, I figured they were all pretty much the same, until I went from 1 snake to 6! Now I know better.

    They definitely do.

    Only person that thinks snakes don't have personalities never interacts with theirs.

    Re: unique little personas

    New to the forum, not new to snakes. Snakes definitely have very unique personalities, I love telling people my snakes have different personalities and querks. Fun to see their reaction, and even better if they come to believe me!
