Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Bogertophis]

On a serious note, I think I will scale back his activity sessions. Not because Wiggles did anything wrong, but because I can't handle them. I'm thinking one late night session a week. Late night to minimize distractions. I'll add more sessions as my supervisory skills improve.

As long as you're not dozing off late night- been there, done that! Yeah, Wiggles was just being a snek!

Something to consider (& based on what I've seen with various different kinds of snakes I've kept over the years): Many snakes sit still as a form of camouflage from predators. As much as they get to know us, I think their instincts still tell them to "sit still" when we're watching them, & move off the moment we're no longer looking. Like I said, been there... I'm very glad he was found quickly & unharmed.
