So I know that most people have heard that dogs and cats can sense the weather, and I was wondering if anyone has noticed something similar in snakes.
I'm asking because today some of my young cousins were over (5 and 4 years old) and then my area was issued a tornado watch. Thankfully, no tornado and just some really nasty weather. Our internet was down and with it our television. they were bored so I asked if they wanted to see my snakes. They were really excited to see the snakes so i went to take out my Kenyan Sand Boa because she is still pretty small at just over a foot. she was not willing to come out at all. I tried to get her out of the aspen and she was really squirmy and kept trying to go back under, so i gave up and went to get my ball python out. As soon as i took him out, he balled up on my hand. This was the first time I've seen him ball up and he is usually a pretty mellow snake. then two and a half hours later, when the storm passed, I took out my BP and he acted as usual. He wasn't balled up or anything and was just chilling in my hands like normal.
So, has anyone else experienced something similar where their snakes were more nervous than usual when there was a bad storm?
