    Snakes "stand up"?

    I've caught Jackson "standing up" alot while he's out exploring. (You know, when they raise up the front half 1/3 or so of their bodies) Its way cute and it makes me giggle. Does this posture mean anything, though? I would be kinda sad if I was laughing at "I'm hungry" in snake...

    yeah! periscoping is perfect! is that a technical term, or something you came up with? They do get a "whats over there" expression that is just too cute!
    also, i just realized that my post says "half 1/3"... I meant to replace half with 1/3 and I just left it... now i look like an idiot, but i'm leaving it cause its kinda funny....

    +1 to periscoping! One of my favorite things of owning snakes.





    I haven't quite captured their "true" periscope really, but here's a little taste of my buggers

    My ball periscopes all the time when he's roaming around the house. By far one of the cooler things a snake does

    It's so cute. The periscoping pictures are the ones I show people when they don't understand how I can call a snake "cute".
