    What's the weirdest thing you have caught your BP doing?

    Last night Dante did the strangest thing I have ever seen him do in all the years I have had him. I have some cork bark along the side of his enclosure for him to crawl in and on. He was roaming around the front of the enclosure doing his typical thing and I thought nothing of it. I came back about 20 minutes later to see him sprawled out across the front with his head face down between the cork and the wall. Now these are loose and not all that large but I got worried he somehow got stuck. I tapped on the glass and asked what he was doing. He raised his head and flicked his tongue at me then shoved his head back down in that cork. A few second later he pulled with his head to get the cork away from the wall and started burrowing under the cork. He had actually been working on it for a while and had just managed to pry it loose enough to get under

    Oddest thing I have ever seen a snake do.

    Guess its not "that" odd, esp. with gravid females, but I found Maja sleeping just about upside down one day.

    In a nice circle, just upside down, head sideways.

    I thought, omg she is dead !!!!!! I gave her and myself a heartattack when I poked her and she woke up. She was deeply asleep until then, LOL.

    I had one that loved putting her head under the water in her bowl and blowing bubbles at me when I had a panic attack she was drowning.

    Clyde likes to stretch out with his belly in his water dish while periscoping. Monty rests his head on top of his hide and seems to rock it back and forth while he eats. Monty is a spider so he does lots of odd stuff.

    I used to let Ragnarok roam my home, when I lived in an efficiency one bedroom apartment, (nowhere to escape or get lost). I once let him roam for awhile, and when I started to look for him, I found him 7 feet up the wall, hanging on the edge of the electrical panel. I didn't think it was possible he climbed the wall, using an ⅛ inch of grip with is belly scales! Balls are very proficient climbers! I wish I had a picture, because it looked like he was just hanging on the wall by super glue! I freaked out and grabbed him off right away, thinking he would fall or hurt his belly scales, but that was the day when I discovered that he loves to climb.

    Just this morning my largest girl who just got finished with her breeding partner for this year was absolutely covered in poop. I wiped her down then put her in the shower stall temporarily while I cleaned up her huge mess. By the time I had gotten back she had managed to climb all the way up the fixtures and had opened the sliding door. I was really surprised. I didn't think she could get her fat butt up the wall. She really, really wanted out of the stall.
    Honest, I only need one more ...
