Advanced species.

You bring up a good point. We're having the first truly hot (as in, over 95*F) days of the summer this weekend and the A/C can barely keep up. Currently it's 80*F upstairs where the snakes are, and not just the retics but the boas and even the ball pythons are obviously looking harder for food.

That has to be a major factor. My guy usually perches and he's been on the cage floor a lot. I'm guessing the upper limits of the cage are too warm and he's more comfortable on the floor.

He's still keyed up. I'm tempted to wear gloves for a bit until I can get back to handling him without him being keyed up.

I think mainland animals are a bit more mellow from what I've seen and heard.

I was a bit taken back when the mouth wash didn't phase him.


I've dropped the cage temps and the basement room temp.

Hopefully in the next day or two the cold front will become evident to the snakes.
