I was just remembering something my BP did in his early days with me.

I was in his cage spot cleaning, changing water, etc. And after a few seconds I realized he hadn't come out to see what was going on in his home. He would usually poke his little head out and check out the noise. I kept on cleaning and he still hadn't shown himself. I started to get worried (typical new snake parent) and lifted his hide off him. Still no movement. I even brushed my hand against him and still nothing. I remember getting so scared and not knowing what to do. I stood back watching him while every horrible thought went through my mind, when suddenly he fliched - it was like he jerked himself awake or something.
I always wondered what that was all about and what happened.

Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
