Happy Birthday to me.

... As they have gotten older, I’ve noticed they aren’t as strong and don’t tend to hold on to me like they did when they were younger. I am definitely supporting them while they cruise along in my hands or lap. They don’t even grab on so that they don’t slip. Much like we lose muscle tone as we age.

Whether snake or human, we need to keep active...working out = muscle tone The problem is that our captive snakes aren't active enough, just like many of us.
