Strange Snake Behavior

[Georgia]

This is a question and answer thread.

Q: Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake always sits on his slab of rock instead of his dirt substrate...WHY?
Has anyone encountered this before?

[franks]

Is it a wild caught snake?

[Kera]

Maybe it's warmer on the rock.

[Georgia]

Nope. Its a CB snake. The rock is the same temp as thr rest of the terrarium.

[franks]

I've had different snakes that did not like a particular substrate for a reason j couldn't figure out. Always seemed to be a loose substrate.

[Georgia]

Oh ok franks

[franks]

Maybe try putting leaves in or some bark just to see if it makes him more comfortable? I've never had a "hot" but I would imagine it's not easy messing around with the enclosure.

I will try and see what the outcome will be... Its not that difficult really. People make it harder than it has to be lol.
