So I have a friend that works at a local Petland. I told him about my new spider and he was stoked to see him. So today I brought him in to check out.
Lawrence has owned snakes since he was about 7 and has worked with Ball Pythons, Cobras, Diamond Backs, Anacondas, Retics, Boas the list goes on... We started taking about caring for BPs and he asked if I give him baths, or crack his back. I was like "yeah sometimes I let him soak in warm water to get a bad shed off, but cracking their back?!" He looked at me and was like "yea, just like you sometimes stand up and stretch your back out, snakes need that too." I was a little shocked but after we gave Kingsley bath to help him loosen up any blockage Lawrence proceeded to massage his sides (gently) and then once he was relaxed he slowly cracked his spine back into alignment. I put my fingers on the sides to feel it and I swear, it felt just like cracking your neck or back, I was amazed! Apparently not only is it good for overall health, but it helps them grow, and digest their food. Oh and by the way Kingsley loooved it, I have never seen a bp so calm and relaxed.

Sooo, Im just wondering if you guys do anything like that with your snakes?
