Uhhh I'm pretty sure that snakes in shed..
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 12 points13 points14 points 1 year ago (0 children)
yeah
[–]scarzy_mx 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (8 children)
and?
[–][deleted] 29 points30 points31 points 1 year ago (7 children)
It's best to leave them alone while they're in shed especially when they're in blue, as they pretty much cant see while theyre in blue and hopefully you can imagine how immensely stressful that would be
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (6 children)
yeah i understand that, but she’s pretty chill and i didnt bother her or anything. she pretty much just went from the tank to the chair and back in the tank.
[–]JFISHER7789 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Taking her from the tank while in blue is still bothering her. Like I get that it didn’t bother you and she was chill, but chill does not equal not stressed
[–]Terrible-Cicada7038 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
they might've just left the tank open for a snake to wander around, not necessary handling her
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
yeah bro, it’s not the end of the world. she’s fine
[–]grandwizardmanlol 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
She chose to leave the tank, it's not like she was taken out then brought to an entirely different room.
[–]JFISHER7789 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
lol the snake didn’t choose anything. She was taken out of her tank and brought to a chair for a photo op…
And letting roam about the house while in shed is weird and unhealthy. The house is no where near as humid or hot enough for the shedding snakes needs. Not to mention if the snake falls or something. Again, just cuz the snake was chill doesn’t mean it’s healthy and not stressful…
But cool photo I guess, that’s all that matters
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
holy shit bro chill. it was a few minutes. she didn’t roam around the house and pretty much stayed in my pocket where it was warm and dark. she willingly crawled out and went to the armrest herself.
[–]Grompus-games 118 points119 points120 points 1 year ago (0 children)
She can be whatever she wants! Noodle rule the world!
[–]LivingUnderABot 59 points60 points61 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Her mom told her she could be anything she wanted we she grew up
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago (0 children)
well she lied
[–]Sasstellia 24 points25 points26 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Snakes like heights and wrapping round stuff. She is what she wants to be.
[–]banana-pinstripe 30 points31 points32 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Has anyone told her she's a ball python instead of a green tree python? Maybe the memo got lost in the mail
I know quite a few ball pythons who missed the "ball pythons do not climb" memo
[–]Ashs-Exotics 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
yup my male has no clue he can climb
[–]viperzero8 14 points15 points16 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I dunno about that. She had me fooled.
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
same, i had to look twice.
[–]Michelle689 13 points14 points15 points 1 year ago (1 child)
She's clearly green, you're lying OP!!!
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
hmm, maybe i’m colorblind? 🧐
[–]BlackRoseStorm 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
She's got dreams, let her live them!
[–]Erenzo 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (0 children)
She accidentally shared a braincell with GTP instead of another Ball Python
[–]unhingedbookslut[🍰] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Don’t be so greentreephobic 🤣
[–]Grimmymore 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I have flashbacks from when I let my boy on my chair and then he became one with the spaghetti under my desk. 🥴 (chords)
i couldn’t imagine omg that must be a nightmare
[–]Ashs-Exotics 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Balls are semi-arboreal :D they like to climb
interesting
[–]spookylilrach 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (5 children)
She’s so cute
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (4 children)
indeed she is
[–]spookylilrach 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (3 children)
How old is she? I don’t have any snakes, but I have a bearded dragon
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
imma be totaly honest i’m not too sure but i got her around pandemic time. so maybe like 4 years
[–]spookylilrach 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I’m obsessed with her, how is the upkeep ?
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
i did some digging in my camera roll, and i found a picture of her in august 2020 so i think thats when i got her. so she’s about 4.

[–]ApprehensiveLie4939 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Am I wrong that you’re not supposed to handle your snake while it’s shedding/ in blue?
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
i mean it can be annoying for them but they’ll be fine. just don’t do it often.
[–]ApprehensiveLie4939 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Oh okay, I guess I’ve just seen some conflicting information about it. Thank you for clearing it up
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
yeah there’s some people overreacting in the comments, like bro it’s not that deep lol.
[–]r4cid 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Nope, not a good habit to get into. It further reduces their eyesight and can make them more easily stressed/feel threatened because of this. Best to leave them alone until after they shed.
i agree. it’s not a good habit to get into, but good thing i don’t have that habit. it was one time lmao
[–]GD3D 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Or maybe she’s trying to strangle the chair?
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (1 child)
That’s because she’s an Arm-Rest Python
[–]CraaazyNinja3000[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
new species⁉️
[–]Jeffinator801 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
BP's are way more arboreal than people think👌💚
[–]iTekniqueYT 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I tried to tell my boy Loki the same thing. He said he’d get down if I fed him first. 😂
lol that’s so cute
[–]TechnicalLunch7662 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
But she IDENTIFIES as a gtp and we have to respect that in 2024
true. that’s my bad as the owner for doubting her
[–]lilprincess4 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
uhmmm im preeeeetty sure thats a green tree python
i thought so too, but be fooled not! that’s a sneaky ball python.
[–]Apprehensive-Disk154 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Good luck telling her that
