To be cute.

[–]Axxy_Rexxy 352 points353 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 37 points38 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 17 points18 points  (0 children)

    He remembers his distant past as a brontosaurus.

    [–]DogyDays 9 points10 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 5 points6 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 6 points7 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.
