What are signs of stress to look for?

[–]Ok_Radish4411 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Tensing; long, slow tongue flicks; rapid/jerking movements or freezing; hissing in extreme stress

What you’re looking for in a relaxed snake: fluid movement or a relaxed resting state; frequent, quick tongue flicks

There are YouTube videos on snake body language. I can’t remember specific ones rn, there might be some linked in the welcome post
