    Why is my snake burying itself?

    Is this just in its personality or is this a sign of something? No one replied when i posted this in my last thread... so i made a new one...

    its probably looking for places to hide and it feels secure by buring itself because it touches all its sides

    Please refer to your first thread. It's only been two days, one of which is part of the weekend when traffic is slow, especially for an already slow moving section of the forum.

    I haven't researched this, but I think it's normal behavior. My BRB always buries himself and prefers to do so over any hide I've tried.

    Yes to provide more security you should cover the other two sides.

    Alright, which flipping thread do you want to continue this in? We've got the two now, both of which you are answering in, even though I asked the questions in your first thread.... I personally will continue with your first thread....
