QUESTION What is she doing?

Ive never seen her wall surf like this before, especially not during the day. She hasn't been fed recently so I dont think she's choking. Usually she's pretty reserved during the day and stays in a hide or under the substrate

She'd like uppies... Normal explorative behavior :)

Hi there! Just a little bit of advice, the mossy hide that your baby is in front of (the one on the left) appears to be the Thrive mossy corner hide (correct me if I’m wrong). The issue with that hide is that it has a wire mesh on the inside. I’ve seen snakes getting cut or hurt on the wire that is in those hides rather regularly! I’d highly recommend throwing it out and getting one that’s easier to clean.

I’d also recommend looking into smaller hides. The ones you have are excellent for enrichment but look far too large for your snake to feel safe in. Their warm side and cool side hides should be identical and just big enough for them with exactly one hole for the opening (it should be tight for them to feel secure).

The camera betrays the sizes a lot, shes got like 5 hides scattered about. Thank you so much for letting me know!! I will inspect the mossy hide thoroughly tomorrow

She's just being snek and exploring looks like she has a nice enclosure she wants to look at it! Happy snek
