I think I changed my snake's circadian rhythm

I know, I'm very lucky to have dogs like these. My bro & sil have dogs that wake them at the crack of dawn, or even before, but maybe their dogs learned it from them? I mean, they're early birds too? Anyway, my dogs both came from shelters, as did all previous dogs & I also got lucky with how much they like each other with no quarrels ever, & I got them years apart too. The "god of doggy-matchmaking" was with me for sure...

Back to snakes, I think in the wild they're probably not so set in their ways either when hungry. Maybe that's a good thing you taught your snake? To be flexible!

By the way, many but not all of my snakes reside in one bedroom, & because I stay up late, I also leave that room dark until later morning, when I open the drapes.

It's great to hear you got lucky with your dogs getting along and being okay with sleeping in! I've heard that dogs reflect their owners so I think that also shows you've done a good job of cultivating a harmonious environment in your home

Lol true about snakes! Seems they can adapt pretty well to different day/night patterns. My BP certainly seems to be eager to eat no matter what time of day. For my BP's last feeding I accidentally fell asleep at around 7pm while his rat was thawing (he usually eats between 7-9pm). Woke up at 1am, remembered the rat, and went to feed it to him—he was fast asleep in his hide and didn't even respond to the vibrations of me going up and down the stairs to the basement to get his food or when I put down his feeding plate in his enclosure (which usually gets him super excited!) I ended up lifting his hide and putting the rat right up to his face and he woke up and went for it right away

On another note, my sleep/wake schedule has really gone haywire since the whole COVID-19 lockdown started. Hope I can get back to some semblance of normalcy soon!
