    Weird thing(s) your snake enjoys?

    I was just wondering if anybody else had something their snake oddly enjoys which you wouldn't of thought, and what's the backstory to it? Little backstory for mine- My corn snake is 3+ feet long, in a 40 gallon with bark type bedding. He's always had a abundance of hides to use but never used them just rather burrow into his bark on his coldest side and stay there. (No matter the time of the year he just rather be cold) I like to dabble with household items and use them as extras for my snakes if they need it while a item is being cleaned etc. Earlier that week I bought some lucky charms and on the day I finished it, I cut the flaps and made sure no sharpish edges were on it, took out his $30 hide and put it in there. Ever since then he is always in it, even when feeding he enjoys eating in his box. His other hide just goes to waste since he rarely ever leaves except for water, or just cruising his cage at night. Never thought my corn snake would fall in love with a $2 cereal box as a hide. Isn't the coolest looking hide, but if he loves it he can promote it all he wants lol.

    I made a hide out of a cut and sanded foldgers coffee container (plastic) and he refuses to spend any time in his other hide or his old one that I bought for $25.

    My Albino sticks his whole head in the water when he drinks and my Normal girl loves to climb on top of her terrarium and pretend that she's a Green Tree Python.

    My Bp loves to climb on the hydrometer/thermometer combo I have in her tank.
    This used to work fine when she was a small little thing, but now she's much bigger and the hydrometer is only attached by velcro. So now everytime I stick it back on that night I'll hear a slow ripping noise followed by a "thunk" as she and the hydrometer fall down. But she still climbs up there every single time.

    My male bp loves mirrors and watching his reflection, so I let him hang out when I do my make up a lot, and my baby girl likes climbing in her fake plants auction cupped onto the tank (she'll be sad when she gets big haha)

    Dunking the whole head into the water is pretty funny.

    Ever think that maybe your current hide doesn't help the snake feel secure? A lot of commercial hides are much too tall.

    My Bairds Rat Snake female likes to balance on her tail and have over half of her body crawling upside down on the screen lid.

    My BP purposely dunks his rat pups in his water dish, even when on the other side of the tank, he takes them to the water dish.
