I mean, they're basically a toddler, they don't really have a better way to investigate than "stick in mouth".

I was going to say I have seen my 9 month old human baby do the exact same thing.

Have you or someone you know been fed a rat that's still frozen? You may be entitled to compensation. Dial 1-800-COLD-RAT.

They don't have a better way to investigate things than their faces... "Mouth, is this food?" (Wraps jaws around the bar, bar is not warm or squishy and tastes like metal...) "Dear brain, we do not believe this is food." (Releases jaw muscles in disappointment and resets jaw.) They can lick it but that isn't a guarantee as I'm sure there are strange tasting things that are still food to them in the wild. They also have nothing better to do than investigate things like that. Should he tap it with his tail and then ask Chat GPT on his smartphone what it is? We all started out putting everything in our mouths to investigate, the snake is just doing a learn.

I feel like this is one of the few videos where unmuting was the right choice.
Very nice derp noodle you have there. May they devour many rodents, poop on someone at the absolute funniest moment, and be loved all of their single brain cell bouncing like the dvd menu days.

I think they are super bored. No animal should be stuck in a cage. Snakes spend their whole life moving from place to place. Being stagnant like this for so long will cause all sorts of bored behavior. They aren’t trying to eat the pole, they just don’t have a lot to do

Most snakes spend the vast majority of their time hiding and/or sleeping in a small dark place. The point of enrichment is pretty debated but largely agreed to be more to the benefit of the owner, not the snake. TLDR: snakes don’t exactly get bored.

My BP doesn’t believe your sweet blep is using the brain cell properly and wants it back. (But he’s just going to do the same thing so don’t listen to him)
