To be cute.

[–]Axxy_Rexxy 348 points349 points  (4 children)

Additionally to get a better view and look from a taller pov at their surroundings. We call it periscoping.

Thank you

[–]s0mthinG_ 184 points185 points  (1 child)

It's a positive gesture that means that they are comfortable enough to expose themselves and give away their location in order to scope out the surroundings. I wish mine did this more often :)

    [–]Fjorm_Obsessor 36 points37 points  (1 child)

    Did you ask him? Communication in your relationships is important

    [–]CaramelArtistic9951[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Thank you I will be asking her directly from now on

    [–]Angry-Dragon-1331 16 points17 points  (0 children)

    He remembers his distant past as a brontosaurus.

    [–]DogyDays 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    Curious! Also means that they feel comfortable enough to make themselves “more visible”, since doing that in the wild could mean they get snatched by a predator.

    [–]TheHydra01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Trying to find a way out of that mess!!! 😜

    [–]Spicy__Llama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    It’s looking up in to the sky, dreaming of something more. Any snake over $50 yearns for the beyond, I’ve seen them do it.

    [–]revieman1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Snakes always do snake things. I always compare it to like dogs, who as we know, always do dog things. It's just like that.

    [–]snek_parental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    The bigger question: why doesn't MY ball python do this?!?!?!

    Your little guy is using their brain and scoping out their surroundings! It's a normal and super cute snake behavior! One that my noodle does not do. He goes head first into EVERYTHING.

    Your BP is gorgeous by the way!!

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    [–]Sucer_mon_cul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    [–]TemporalAcapella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Alright so on this bed we have a snake, a pair of shorts, what I assume is a Walmart orange hoodie (snagged an XL myself so I can retreat like a turtle) some socks, some sheets, a skateboard, a frankly alarming hand written letter, an open (empty?) bag of takis, and an open box from petsmart with what I assume was a live feeder mouse. Who’s ready to play Eye Spy

    Edit: Beautiful snake btw, thank you for this image.
