He wouldn't survive in the wild

[arcane]

I wish I could get a picture of this, I'm trying though.

Yesterday Evan finally shed (he has been in shed for about a week), so I decided to replace his newspaper with coconut husk. When I moved him to his new tank about 3 weeks ago, I had it in there, but it was still too wet, and caused a massive amount of humidity. Well last week it was ready to go, but he decided to be in shed, so I left him alone.

Well as soon as I dumped the substate in, he wiggled from my hand and went nose first, tunneling. But he forgets one thing important thing while broowing:

This tail. Well the last 2 inches of it. Ever time he digs he leaves it poking out. Makes it very easy to find him, but alas, my baby would be some animals food if he lived in the wild.

I can't help but find it cute and stupid at the same time.

LOL Tanya! I was just laughing about one of our little 06's doing the same thing yesterday. Off she went to hide in her hide...sort of forgetting she'd left her little fat butt and tail hanging out the roof hole.

LOL I too have a corn that does this... but much worse! He only sticks his head under the substrate and leaves the rest of his entire body out!

[frankykeno]

Yep our yearling BCI will do that....funny as I'm sure he figures he's hidden perfectly since his head is under his substrate LOL. The flip side of that...when we were fostering a 6 foot BCI she could somehow wiggle into her substrate (aspen/cypress mulch mix) so well that you'd glance in and for one horrible second your heart would stop because you were sure she'd somehow escaped! LOL

LOL. Well we don't love our snakes because they are smart.

He's still doing it. I'm kinda happy though, as when he was tunneling under the newspaper, everytime I looked in I thought for sure he had escaped. Not now though. Definatly not smart.

my lil corn likes to do something a lil different, she likes to stick her hypomelanistic little head out and watches. so i dunno about and hungry animals but its ease to see her bright red-orange head sticking out!!!
