    Absolutely normal! It's called " periscoping". I think it's also a defensive behavior in the wild looking for shadows of things from up above or the surrounding areas.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Thank you, that does make sense! i think its cool when she does it. she is one snake who seems to love being out of her tub and out with us! my fiance took her over. i've always wanted a Super Pastel i get one and she takes over her and named her. she is one cool BP great personality she is the smallest in my collection at 51g but is a great eater took F/T with no problems
