Oh, my girl Onyx does some weird stuff... As in, she sits stretched halfway across (not in) the water dish every night and just... stares. If not that, she's on top of her hide looking at me. Or she'll have pressed herself on the ledge between the cage door and the rest of the cage because she can. Or, her favorite, sitting next to or behind the hide but not in it. I don't get it, haha.

And don't even get me started on my rainbow boa. She's a weirdo. Her favorite thing is making tunnel networks around her cage and hiding underneath the substrate in her hide. She never uses her hide entrance. Just burrows right under the side. Oh, and she likes her food either right in front of or on top of her hide. Then there's her random temper tantrums. "Moooooooom, I don't want you to take my picture! Get that camera away! No!" and then a whole bunch of striking and then trying to run or jump out of my hands. The instant the camera or whatever is gone, she stops. Hates the camera more than anything, it seems.

The weirdest snake we have, however, is one of my dad's ball pythons. She didn't eat for a while, so we put a hide in to help with security. Instead of going in the hide like a normal snake, she'd go under the paper towels below or directly outside of the hide. I tried to put her in the box to show her what it was, but she'd go right out and under the towels again. Eventually I took it out because she never used it. My next feeding trick with her? Putting the rat under the paper towels. And... ummmm... it worked. I don't even...

And then there's Disco, my bumblebee het red axanthic! When I come into the room, she likes to come to the front of her tub to watch. Often times she loops herself over her hide and her water dish and watches everything I do. If I put my hand in the tub, she climbs up my arm and curls around my wrist or elbow and hangs out, still keeping an eye on me. Not as weird as the others, but it's pretty sweet.
