    Does anyone else's BP do this?

    He likes being wrist wear. He wraps himself really tight around my wrist and just chills. Is he trying to strangle my wrist are does he does he's an accessory?

    Some of mine do this too, whether it be wrist, arm, shoulder, or neck. Hee hee.

    That's the only way they can hold on. If some big monster(BG) picked you up, would you just trust that he's gonna hold on, or would you grab some arm hair?

    It's normal

    Not all snakes wrap, some want to crawl, other's want to bite. I wouldn't think I'd worry about it unless you feel him trying to constrict tightly.

    Hey, at least it's not stiking at you!

    Re: Does anyone else's BP do this?

    Two options have been mentioned and they are both correct.

    If he's cold when you pick him up, I would certainly check my husbandry, however; if all is ok then it's normal, and like BG mentioned, he's just holding on (and possibly trying to remain warm).

    My newest baby likes to do the same thing, only around the palm of my hand.

    He's the only one who does it, but he does it every time I pick him up.

    I think it's cute.
