:p Ok i havea wierdo.... I was doing a tank cleaning today,,,,,... and Hudinie hates it when I do that... He freaks out on me while I am cleaning the tank , and then Once I am done cleanign it and I put all of the hides, water bowl, placts, ectera back in to the tank l..... He cruises around like he has just got all new stuff. sniffing, and searching everything like it is in the wrong place or something........
Any one else get that kind of reaction?

Oh yeah and he is the only one of the three that does that to me.

I have to say, all my snakes do that, not just the garters. The corns and the royal python spend ages slithering, exploring and dancing in a freshly cleaned viv. I guess it's the only real excitement they get so they make the most of it! :D

[Stefan-A]

Yeah. Every time I've cleaned an enclosure the inhabitants start doing inventory.

[k2l3d4]

Ok... out of my four snakes he is the only one that does that.

[guidofatherof5]

Sounds like he's the only one that cares:D
I have some that same way. They don't care what I do to the enclosure. Others give me a look like I did something wrong.

[adamanteus]

A lot of (but not all) my snakes do this. They usually like to take a dump in the fresh water I just provided too! Thanks for that!

I pulled a hide out once to rotate a new one in, and I swear it was missed! There was pacing and looking at me. More pacing. Then it was dinner time, and the incident was all but forgotten.

:D:rolleyes:;)Oh that is too good. No today was only a major spot cleaning.... Next week is the deep scrub. So I am able to just pull out all of the hides, water bowls, foliage, ect and let them roam around the tank while I make sure that I get all of the crud out ....

the ball pythons got some balls hahahahahaha sorry bad pun....my first snake was a flathead , if rubed down its spine it would lift its head up like a cobra until i pushed his head down... and checker jumps for his food and can stay still in front of a camera...what about ur snakes?

[k2l3d4]

Naw... i do not get any of that... I have three garters... two male checkereds that are 08 babies and measurign about two feet long and then the other is an 08 checkered female? that was being starved to death that is only about 12.5 inches long. I then have my male 09 baby normal Ball python that is totally chill and getting more use to me every day... and then if all goes well I am going to get him a girlfriend spider ball python that was just born on the 19th of last month.... none of mine do tricks but my albino checkered male 08 has gone to my son's preschool for a presentation... and did not even trip out about it.

lol....lol....
tongs? ... What are those?... I have never used tongs with any of my snakes. If I get tagged then I get tagged.
Naw.. My garters are spoiled little piggies... My green checkered is the hunter and will hit if the food is moving or on a plate... now my albino checkered male is spoiled . From the get go he was scared of anything moving and will only eat if the food is still and on a plate. and the female Rescue is showing the same skitishness that her brother has portrayed and she is eating of off a plate. and my 09 baby ball python and I are still getting adjusted to how he eats... sometimes he wants the mouse doing the Zombie dance and other times he wants it in the hide with him on a paper towel to eat.
