Tell us your funny reptile stories

[Valyndris]

I want to hear all about the funny, silly, cute, and unusual moments you've all had with your reptiles. I have one ball python named Crowley and he's had quite the funny moments throughout his life and though it would be fun to share stories.

First picture is when Crowley outgrew his cave but still wanted to use that one the most, I guess he still thought he was hiding.


Next picture is more recent, I found him sleeping like this, he probably thought he was hiding perfectly fine.


Next picture is him going under a little chest my grandfather made me, he was still young and wanted to hide more often.


Then he went in the lay-z-boy chair


And then the couch. (he's been in another couch before that but I don't have pictures) Well I learned my lesson by now and use a blanket to cover up any chairs or couches he goes on now. He hasn't been inside any chairs or couches since then.


Crowley going down the dresser one handle at a time so that I couldn't get him till he reached the floor. (his tank was on top the dresser)


Crowley not letting me play my video game, his cuteness is better than any video game anyway.


A younger picture here, he was wrapped around my murloc figurine. (murlocs are from World Of Warcraft)


Next is when Crowley decided to be sneaky. I was feeding him like I always do, in a tote. Well this time he decided he wasn't hungry and I didn't notice him come out of the feeding tote. This is where I found him, it was his stuff stored under the desk which his tank was on and near where I fed him. I usually watch that tote like a hawk to make sure he doesn't come out but it was dark (I prefer feeding him in the dark) and he sneaked out without me noticing. I had to wait for him to come out himself as I couldn't just pull on him.


Now this picture probably isn't the time he did it but it was where it happened. His body was blocking the entrance to his cave and he was trying to get in really bad. He proceeded with hissing at his own body because it was in the way. Then he went around to the other side (while the rest of his body still blocked the entrance) and tried getting in from the other side of the entrance just to get mad and hiss at himself again, he finally did figure it out and got the whole snake out then went in. He looked happy after he successfully got in his cave.


This next picture is of Crowley waking up in the middle of the day to the smell of bacon, from the looks of it he absolutely loves the smell of bacon.


This one is when Crowley decided to go underneath his tent instead of in it, hey whatever is comfy for him is fine by me, as long as he's happy.


And my last and most recent picture (and no this list isn't in any kind of chronological order) is of Crowley going through his cave instead of in it. He likes to hang out on the couch with me and usually goes in his cave but this time he went in the front door and made up his own back exit, I guess he must of lifted it a bit. He looked so confused and was struggling to either get in or out, so I helped him out by taking the cave off of him, picking him up and letting him try again. The second time around he got it right and went in the cave successfully.


Well that's all the funny stories I can think of about Crowley for now. Much easier to remember the stories I took pictures of as I can just go through my photo library and find the good ones. Now that I've moved into a home and Crowley has his own room he doesn't really get himself in trouble anymore but he still has his funny moments. Crowley is just so cute, funny and adorable, he is the best pet ever and I love him so much. I can't wait to hear all about the funny stories everyone else has about their reptiles.
