Re: Periods of activity

rico does that from time to time, at about 5pm-9pm he gets crazy and just cruises around but for the most of the day he just kinda chills out, but feeding him doesn't matter, he just gets really active at that time, then he goes and chills out again.

Re: Periods of activity

Here Concinnus is pretty much active during the whole day. Marcianus is indeed more active starting at the evening. And I can't put my fingers on the Cyrtopsis, but they are indeed not that active during the warmest periods of the day.

When given the opportunity, all the garters climb. But marcianus and cyrtopsis seem to use the branches as hiding plases. Concinnus does not.

Parietalis (nothing to compare to) here: basking in the open or on branches during the day, becomes active just before it gets dark and stays active until just after the lights turn on. Sometimes, but not regularly, active during the day.

Re: Periods of activity

My Sirtalis sirtalis is active from about 5 to 8 PM, or more specifically out of hiding and basking, never just mindlessly cruising around.
This thread will also help me when I'm looking for snakes so thanks to James for starting this.
