Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Homebody]

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.

I can't tell you how many times I've lost Wiggles only to find him right in front of my face. He's not a chameleon! He's brown with a faint spotted pattern, but evolution has given him the ability to fit perfectly in the gaps in our perception making him, at times, effectively invisible. It's spooky.
