I've been noticing a lot of weird behaviors from my snakes over time, and I thought it might be neat to gather together a list of the "unexplainable" behaviors of our ball pythons. Things that make you just tilt your head at them, and say, "what the heck... ?"

I have three that I can think of off the top of my head.

1. Adalae CONSTANTLY sleeps like this even though her hide is definitely big enough:

I've no idea why...


2. Harlett did something similar when I had her:




Again, no idea why.

3. Harlett also used to rest her head on my nose. Just about every time she was out she would do this, and if I didn't bother her she'd stay there for quite a while. Scary stuff if you're not used to it.


Anyone else have snakes with unusual behavior for no apparent reason?
