Brian got a new tube to explore and she found it very interesting.

A fun snake behavior is when they periscope like this to get a good look at something

Nova on her rock wall!

She loves climbing it all the way to the top. I strongly recommend a 3D background if possible.

nelly conducted a very important cereal box investigation today. results are ... approved :)

i like putting new and interesting (and of course, safe—no sharp points/edges, so sticky stuff, etc) items in nelly's enclosure every so often, like paper towel tubes or other recycling. today's item is a cereal box. i actually put it in there a couple days ago but this was her first time coming out to explore since her meal on saturday. she began her investigation with a big drink of water from her pool/bowl and has been in and out of the box since. i take the random items out if they get wet or when i notice she hasn't really been interested them in a few days, or just whenever.

this is also, accidentally, a great way to show how much she's grown recently!!!! look at her!!! my big cranky monster!!!

Six pictures of my orange corn snake Nelly exploring a cereal box. Two photos show her yawning. The others show her inside or climbing on the outside of the box. ]

If you wish death upon my reptiles/snakes or make comments about turning them into shoes/purses. I'll say the same about your dog or cat. 🙃

have any reptile keeper friends on here bought one of those bulk boxes of cork branches???? every reptile store around me has bulk boxes of cork branches and you can buy 5lb, 10lb, or 20lb boxes

but i have no concept of how much you actually get??? i know cork bark is light but how many big branches do you really get for 5lbs??

i need more branches for my sneks 🐍 i have two 4'x2' tanks i want to fill with lots of branches

This was an "interesting" exhibit. A canebreak rattlesnake, a southern copperhead, and an eastern rat snake all cohabitated at the California Academy of Sciences.

I realize they're in an educational facility and these snakes have overlapping habitats, but I didn't see many places for them to get away from each other and I wasn't impressed by the enclosure size or decor.

This display gave me an uneasy feeling. Hopefully I'm just wrong.

do you go to therapy to escape depression or are you normal like me and look at closeup pictures of giant centipedes instead and feel better instantly

"Ball pythons don't like basking/heat lamps"

Well bitch, this snake begs to fucking differ
