So Crowley ate on Tuesday and took it easy for a bit like he normally does after eating for the first time after a fast. He decided to come out yesterday, Sunday. I had to go do some errands when his light shut off so he was out of his hide basking in his bamboo waiting for me to come home which took me a little over an hour since the time his light shut off. He's a smart snake, he waited for me to come back and open his door before he peed.
He's done this many times, it actually used to be a routine for him where he'd only pee if I was the with him with the door open. He even used to shed and hold in his pee till I showed up whether it was that night or the next day. Normally he'll pee right after a shed, which is what he does nowadays. He used to care more about not having to sleep in a tank with pee back when he had the smaller enclosure. Well he did that today, maybe his old habits are coming back, which I like because I don't have to feel bad for leaving him in pee overnight and all day.
If it happened once or twice I'd call it a coincidence but for how often he's waited for me to show up then pees within 10 minutes then comes out, I call that being a smart and clean snake. His routine a few years ago was that I had to open his door and sit next time him before he would be, did this every time. I was always around for him so he never had to hold it for more than a day.
I am so happy he came out and enjoyed his missions, I really missed him. Watching him roam around and come see me and hang out with me or around my neck is just so therapeutic for me. He's like a son to me, I love him so much and I am so proud of him. Tonight he was at the door of his enclosure shortly after his light shut off and came out right away. I am currently in the room with him, glancing over at him every 10-15 seconds or so, I never leave him unsupervised. I even have my nanny cam feed right under my monitor but I don't rely on it too much and still glance over at Crowley as it can get delayed, never know when the wifi will decide to stop working.
Here's a video of Crowley doing some missions:
I also have a time lapse video I will probably post tomorrow of Crowley after I put him back in his enclosure for the night. He was so active and full of energy and still wanted out. I usually just let him out for 2-2.5 hours. He just went for a pee, time to go clean up, I'm not surprised as he does pee once and then the next day sometimes. He went in an easy spot to clean, such a good snake. <3
