Thanks, Desi has his own "pet" snake that he named Big Irwin, but little Irwin is still his favorite.Originally Posted by ratchet
Oh man, I think my favourite part was the end with Desi holding Irwin.So adorable! Great video, I also got a kick out of the song choice.
They sure know how to take their time eating sometimes, haha.
But in regards to knowing when your snake is hungry... For me, I just learn how my snakes act. Usually they tend to be more on the calm side of just hanging out, but if I notice them reacting to movement in the room and seeing them come out and explore more than usual, I go towards them being hungry. It's only reinforced when they get the sniff of rat and really look like they want to come out to play, haha. All my snakes are visible because they aren't in tubs though, so I get to see them everyday whenever I'm around and can watch how they act a lot of the time.
regarding hunger cues, to be honest, during the day Irwin is usually in one of his hides, seems like i only see him crawling around at night when i use a flashlight check to his temp and humidity before bed. When i take him out to play during the day i almost always have to wake him up, he tries to get away, but as son as he's out of the cage he starts playing. So maybe if i go in during the day and he comes out rather than tucking in, he might be hungry?? (I know this is all wild hypothesis here, but just for the sake of conversation)
