🐍Snake Behavior Series - Ep 2 Is it Sleeping?

- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Welcome to episode two in our deep-dive into recognizing different snake behaviors. As keepers, our best tool for having positive, comfortable experiences with our animals is to make every effort to recognize and understand their body language. It makes them more comfortable and helps us as keepers avoid bites due to misunderstandings. It's a common question: how can you tell if a snake is sleeping since it lacks eyelids? We discuss the clues we can look for and how we can approach a sleeping snake.

I'm really loving this series, keep them coming! One of the best feelings in the world is having a snake trust you so much it falls asleep in your arms, my boa has done this a couple of times now and I'd just sit there, not moving a muscle as to not wake her up.
Another very telling sign that a snake is asleep that I've noticed is the head laying in an unusual manner, either tilted to one side (like Chloe's was) or firmly layed onto the ground.
Such an interesting topic with snakes! I’ve always been baffled by people saying in videos they’re going to wake up their snake (after they open the door, then they face the camera and talk to audience.) I think as soon as you move the door or touch the door, this causes vibration that the snake can feel, and they wake up, possibly not moving to indicate that they are awake in order to avoid detection-that’s their instincts kicking in and counting on camouflage to remain undetected. In the wild, sudden movement would certainly trigger a predation response from an animal searching for a meal, so instinctively snakes remain immobile even after they wake up (some snakes will move to investigate.) But, basically, my point is, after the door gets unlocked, opened or moved in any way, I think the snake wakes up. In some cases your foot steps alone will wake up a snake. The keeper does not physically have to tap the snake to wake it up. I’ve mentioned this topic in a couple of my past videos, but you explained it so much better, and my channel has a very very small following!
Thanks for sharing the info…looking forward to more snake behavior videos! 👍🏼
Muy buen video
It's fascinating thinking about how snakes sleep. Great video idea!
Very cool info, thanks for making this one Tim.
Fabulous vid! Can’t wait for the next one ❤
It's always a pleasure seeing your videos Tim same goes for silent Bob 😂
Hi Tim
How are you doing?
Glad I made it on time again
Wow, another great video!
Great explanation! I would guess that a lot of other reptiles sleep in the same manner.
Mine seem to gaze down when they sleep, when they wake up their eyes snap upwards. It's very interesting. I didn't consider how some might need a longer while to snap out of sleep mode. I'm usually awake once I'm awake, my husband needs a good 40 minutes to remember he's even human.
I read a study 5 or 6 years ago that came to the conclusion that bearded dragons regularly dream. I wonder what they dreamed of? I'm betting, crickets and blueberries! 😌 And their scary dreams of course are about BIRBS OF PREY. 😱
Had an interesting one with my best mate carpet python recently. He greets me when I get in from work and always wants to be in the middle of things. Once it's feeding time though any heat signature is going to get hit. I fed him a quail for the first time a couple of weeks ago and he has been a nightmare. Hunting and biting anything. I can't understand what triggered the change in temperament.
hi
My burn definitely dreams. He bumps things while he's sleeping. He's also never fought anything. He fell asleep with his rat. When he woke up he wanted to fight it until he came round properly. One of my carpets goes completely asleep. He is like a wet hose when you pick him up and can fall out of his tree.
If you don’t mind, I was wondering what size on average does a retic get
Mainlands range 16-20ft, longest in captivity is 25 ft I think. Gender and genetics play a role
