Stupid things that snakes do.

[Stefan-A]

Well it didn't take long before one of mine did something equally stupid. Just fed the two of them, but five minutes after the female was done swallowing, I had another look at them. The female picked up a chunk of peat the size of her head and started swallowing it. I tried to intervene, but she managed to swallow it. [insert curse word here]

The "good" news is that peat breaks up when it gets moist and should pass through it anyway, but I really hope it regurgitates it instead. I definitely didn't need another thing to worry about. If she kicks the bucket because of it, I'm just going to call it "natural selection".

my ribbon snake bruno tied himself into a knot, and ate his tail once--after having 3 inches of his tail in his mouth he realized it wasnt a fish

Do they have Darwin Awards for Snakes??? I have an OLD mountain king that always grabs himself instead of the mouse, but I just thought it was snake dementiaor something..

Anyone find it funny the way that the snakes slide up and down the glass when you put them in a new vivarium?, its as if they are trying to find a hole in it , eventually they just tumble and start all over .

My brothers Fox snake is a devil for doing that.I think i might have to get a fox snake, such character .

They probably can't see the glass, or don't understand at least. Like a baby and a mirror.
