    Fact or Myth?

    The whole reason I even got my BP (Cinnamon Spider) was because of how fantastic her personality was when I saw her at an expo. Calm, but not shy... inquisitive and almost “friendly” even though it seems ridiculous to say that about a snake. I go to her cage and I swear, if I say her name, she will poke her head out of her hide and stretch all the way to the glass and just stare at me then slowly slink back in lol. You can touch her anywhere, even right on the nose, do anything with her, and she doesn’t flinch.

    That being said... while she doesn’t do the typical “wobble” and doesn’t have any trouble getting food.... she DOES sometimes get stuck “in a loop.” I guess it’s what one would describe as corkscrewing. Every now and then, I’ll see her out of her hide at night. Most of the time she acts like any other snake. But sometimes she’ll stay in one spot and just twist her head around all sorts of directions for longer than acceptable amounts of time... I’m not gonna lie, it’s unsettling to watch. But I’ve figured out if I just tap once the glass* it snaps her out of it and she goes back to normal. Almost like a reset button. Other than that, though, she’s awesome.



    *under normal circumstances I would never tap on an animals cage...
