    Muscle tone

    Why do some snakes have poor muscle tone?

    What causes this?

    How can it be prevented?

    Is it in the long run unhealthy?

    Re: Muscle tone

    I'm no pro, but based on, well, pretty much what I think I guess, and research, I would say handling them frequently would avoid poor muscle tone more than anything. Of course I'm sure genetics can probably have alot to do with it too. But my instincts, and research, tell me that handling them is healthy mentally and physically.
    So I think as long as they are at home enough in their enclosure to get atleast a little activity in there, and activity from you, they should be reasonably healthy and in turn, yes, maybe a little tone and muscley too!

    Before you knock it try it first, you may find it's a blessing and not a curse.
