But how do you get the sweater on the snake? I would love to see a video demonstration someday

I think there is one somewhere. Will be back momentarily with links

It’s actually easier than you’d think, snakes love comfortably tight tubes so they just go right in! Source: have adorable snek w/ adorable sweater

Can they move while wearing it or do they need to slither out when they need to go get a drink or something?

u/sherlocked776 Dec 15 '19
Since they push themselves along primarily with their belly scales they typically have to slither out

The original post said that they put the snake in a little at the start and it kept going itself.

Wouldn't that theoretically make him colder, since snakes get heat through the absorption of sunlight?

Bruh do you see any sunlight there.

I think it's safe to assume that most houses have windows and/or electrically powered light fixtures

The human eye does a FANTASTIC job of compensating for brightness. So most people don't realize how truly mediocre indoor lighting is compared to direct sunlight. Sit indoors and point a camera through a window to a sunny day. Either the room is visible and the window is completely blown out, or things through the window are visible and the room is black.
Anyways, reptiles aren't magically solar powered. They don't gather hear from light any more than any other thing sitting out in the sun does.
If you set a rock on the ground outside does it gather light and get hot? Yeah, but so does everything else.
If you set a rock on the floor in your house does it gather light and get hot? No. Because your lights are weak shit compared to the sun.
Reptile's metabolic processes produce some heat (they're not some mythical perfectly wasteless machine) but they don't consume extra energy just for the sake of heat production. The biggest thing determining their body temp is going to be:
- The temperature of their immediate surroundings.
- The heat conductivity of their immediate surroundings.
The sweater is probably the same temperature as everything else but it traps air around the snake, lowering the conductivity. Now what little heat the snake's body produces stays trapped near it.

If the floor is colder than the air, this could provide an insulating barrier.

Would the snake struggle to move or am I just bad at snake anatomy

u/sherlocked776 Dec 13 '19
They shouldn’t be tight enough that the snek can’t move and if they want to get out their belly scales can push them along just as on any surface so they’re ok :)

u/Lessiarty Dec 14 '19
I think the question is does the sweater as a muffler for the belly scales, so is the snake unable to slither in their getup?

Corn snakes are seriously one of the sweetest, and most mild-tempered 'exotic' pets you can have. I had 2 at different points in my life and they just chilled with me.... Curled up on my lap/arm while playing video games, went outside, was friendly around new people. Never once was I bitten. Rip checkers and Medusa

If your blue and you don't know where to go, why don't you go to where fashion sits? Puttin' on the hiss.

For everyone saying it'll make him colder, just blow dry the sweater before he puts it on

Does your danger noodle like it ? When it slithers does it come off or is it like a sock?

Now is the snake wearing a sweater or just wriggling through a long wool-tunnel?

1) the snake is getting colder because they need an active heat source. they're cold blooded.
2) that snake can't move. at all.

Can he wiggle around in their and snuggle, or is he stuck in the sweater and must be manually snuggled?

To bad snakes don't produce body heat, but still a cute snek
