I'm sure we all have experienced that moment when our reptiles do something so odd, stupid, or funny that we just have to laugh and shake our heads at them. All of mine have made do this at some point.
Today was one of the better chuckles though.
I was taking a bit of time before work to spot clean tanks and fill water, and handle my new carpet (that's a whole othwr can-o-worms). Then it was time to take going to work more seriously, so I was geting dressed when all of a sudden I hear a loud crash, rattle, some had fallen kind of sound. I look around all over and everything seems in order...but then I see Moko in his tank thrashing around and at first I was 'Omg!'. But as I got to his enclosure, I paused and watched him. He was 'stuck' (not even!) Under his plastic hide. The black rectangle type. He had several inches of his tail sticking out under it while the upper thirdor so of his body were outside of the little hole and he was wild eyed and I swear if he could speak I would have heard 'NUUUU!!!'. It takes me no time at all to reach in and take the super light, non-threatening, plastic hide off of him. As soon as he's freed, he coils up in strike mode, all pissed off and offended and looking at me like it's all my fault! I cracked up at that point, put his hide back in the corner where it goes (he drags it all over his enclosure), and close it all up. He keeps giving me the stink eye as I leave my room to go about y business and get to work.
Silly snake...lol.
Ok guys, your turn to share!
