So, if my snakes are more active and coming out more exploring the tank, this automatically means that they are stressed? My girl comes out late every evening and plays. She is trying the same thing to get out of the enclosure, but she eats and seems to be very happy. When I handle her she crawls all over me and flicks her tongue constantly. My boy is in a smaller tank and he says in except to come and and get into his water bowl for a while and slides around the tank for a bit then back to his hide he goes.
