Comfortable snake?

[p3titexburial]

Erm, okay... haha this is an oddly specific type question. An exploring snake is not looking for a hiding place, the one's that are looking to run will be fast, their tongues not flickering and they scurry away from any movement. They usually stick their bodies close to a taller object and slither away very quickly in search of somewhere they feel more secure.

An exploring snake will have tongue flickering often, but their flicker time is somewhat extended. They move towards objects with a more purposeful posture, not just to get away from them. Remember, their tongue is like a dog's nose, if they find something interesting they want to explore, they'll use their tongues, move slower, more cautiously, but nevertheless towards the object of their "desire."

Both my bps are the "exploring" type, in and out of their tubs--although the female is more timid and will bolt if something spooks her. They will come up to the side of the tub to "study" me by way of following my movement with their heads and flickering their tongue at me. Occasionally, if they're in my lap or in my hands, they'll even rear up and look me in the eye, but I get really unnerved and put them back because goodness knows I don't want to get bit in the face (because you never really know what they're thinking.)

When it gets used to its surroundings, it will be more comfortable, and act unhurried and not scared when it's out. Give it time.
