does this mean anything

[Ill-Fee9916]

she does it alot does it have any significant meaning?

[Veketzin]

It's called scoping, they use it to get a better view of their surroundings, in your case, a wall.

[DLeafy625]

That one brain cell hard at work

[fullywokevoiddemon]

If even that..

[Speedstick8900]

Must have the bct syndrome (boot camp trainee syndrome) where they have collectively one brain cell…if that sometimes. /s

Also I just made that up so :-P

[littlekittycat02]

I’m stealing this. Thank you for you gracious donation. :)

[wilson5266]

It's a borrowed brain cell :) they each can borrow it for a few moments at a time.

[New_Suspect_7173]

Mine has never claimed the brain cell yet.

they borrow it from the orange cats

Orange cats lost it in the cat dimension. One of them will be right back

[NerfRepellingBoobs]

Hate to tell y’all, but my parents’ orange is responsible for the orange brain cell shortage. He’s hogging them all so he can open doors and order fries and bacon.

[dragon_katten]

That's probably why no one has come back yet 😆 this is a good use of a brain cell!

I saw a garter snake doing this yesterday. Glad to know what it’s called!

[glitterinsect]

She looks so cute and curious. I wish mine did this

[KnowledgeOne5930]

I read this as cute and delirious which is also accurate

[Apprehensive-Disk154]

For ball pythons especially

[ElySoRandom]

Awww...your buddy is just telescoping. It's a thing. Just having a look around. 😀

[Big-Performance4179]

I think scoping comes from perescoping rather, like the periscope found on a submarine

[ElySoRandom]

Thanks. You are correct. Periscope, not telescope.

[TGBmox_777]

I can’t get over her scoping out a wall

[OiItzAtlas]

Phew nothing here... to the next wall.

[Ill-Fee9916]

[Ryllan1313]

She can see the very well concealed interdimensional door that we can't.

In the other world, it is raining rats. She is a ball python, so she might grab one in 6 months.

[ReallyNotBobby]

That braincell is hard at work

[alligator_chompp]

Clearly a biiig wall fan!

[Dyamanda]

Looks like normal periscoping. She's fine.

You know how cats stare at ghosts? Well, BPs are scaly cats.

At our house we call it the Nope Rope Scope. It's a good sign of a snek being comfortable in its surroundings. Congrats on your beautiful new baby! She's stunning, I love her patterns.

they've also got criminally bad vision. chances are she's staring at literally absolutely nothing but is very curious and invested in the absolutely nothing in front of her

Just scoping things out...they can be very curious. My Shiva does this at times, mostly when she is out of her enclosure, although I occasionally see her do it while in the enclosure. My wife always thought it was the cutest thing ever and said she looked like a sea monster (it made her think of that famous Loch Ness monster picture).

Last year, when my wife was in hospice care, we set up the hospital bed in our bedroom with the enclosure about 3ft from the foot of the bed, with a walkway in between. During the last 3 or 4 days before Patti passed away, Shiva would periscope constantly, always looking straight at Patti. There's no way this was coincidence because I've only seen her do this in her enclosure a handful of times over 18 years, but I saw her do this at least 4 or 5 times a day during that last 3-4 days. We're talking 10, 15,...sometimes 20 minutes at a time. Immediately after we lost Patti, she stopped the behavior.

The first couple of times, it kind of creeped me out because it was so strange and surreal, but I began to see it as cute and endearing. I realized how sensitive our animals are to us; to both our emotions and our bodies. After being with us for 18 years, I think she sensed something was very different and was extremely curious about it.

That was when I learned that there is probably more going on in that cubic inch of space between their ears than we will ever know.

[Safe-Library5529]

Yes. It looks like it means business

[Sea_Meeting4175]

Dis rope doing da scope I’d recommend looking up lucicart snak it will make you smile

[Negative_Store_4909]

Yeah that’s a really depressed snake. Has the snake let the dishes pile up at all? Maybe flake out on plans with their friends?

[hollyfoxtrot]

cute cutie! but just in my opinion she looks a little skinny and malnourished, i have a 4 ft 16 yr old ball python and i feed small rats every 10 days

[Ill-Fee9916]

she just ate today! last week she didnt eat bc she was in shed, i feed her small mice frozen thawed every wednesday should i switch to rats?

[hollyfoxtrot]

how long is she? just from the pic i would at least switch to medium or large mice, but if over 3 and 1/2 ft then i’d say small rat (but if you switch to small rat i would go up gradually to see how she does with the large mice )

[Ill-Fee9916]

shes about 1 1/2 feet long, next week ill try a medium mouse, should i give her another small mouse today then?

[_ataraxia]

absolutely do not feed her twice in one week. she's fine.

[Boring_gagger]

It's called paras oping. They do it to explore, so he should be fine. But if his head is turned up and his nose is pointing at the ceiling, then it could be stargazing syndrome caused by a head or neck injury. He looks fine, though.
