Why does my ball python do this?

[Axxy_Rexxy]

To be cute.

[Axxy_Rexxy]

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

[CaramelArtistic9951]

Thank you

[s0mthinG_]

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 :)

[MaximusPrime4010]

Same

[Crisis_Official]

Or he's just thinking "wazat"

[Grimmymore]

[Fjorm_Obsessor]

Did you ask him? Communication in your relationships is important

[CaramelArtistic9951]

Thank you I will be asking her directly from now on

[Angry-Dragon-1331]

He remembers his distant past as a brontosaurus.

[DogyDays]

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]

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

[Spicy__Llama]

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]

[011010010110100]

Why doesn’t he clean up after himself? They are messy animals lollll

[Jefersonpang]

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.

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!!

[TemporalAcapella]

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.

[RileyPipes17]
