If You Give A Snake A Tube....

[SerpentineDream]

The new guy Quicksilver is much more active than I thought he would be and likes to explore everything in his cage, so I gave him a toy. It's only an empty paper towel roll but he loves it. He goes in and out just for fun. Soon he's going to need a larger diameter tube though.

Very cool. One time I gave my snake a Hotwheels DeLorean to play with. I don't think he gave a crap about that. Maybe I'll try giving him a tube.

My boy is the same, he loves paper tubes, and loves climbing too! I guess all the myths about balls being pet rocks are coming mostly from a breeders keeping their snakes in rack systems, where they are having a really small amount of stimuli...

Hahaha omg that's so cuuuute! I gave Ghost (she's a corn not a ball) a pair of tubes in her tank for her, buuut she didn't really give a crap about 'em, lol. She never even looked at 'em. She prefers the lil log and sitting under her plastic plants more.

LOL Sylphie yours looks like a hot pocket in the first pic. XD

Beautiful snakes everyone, I didn't know Ball Pythons liked to climb... interesting.

[SerpentineDream]

Hmmm, I see him climbing over his cage decorations quite a lot. None are very tall because I had also heard they weren't climbers, but now I'll have to see if we've got any jungle vines left from our White's tree frog habitat build.

I wouldn't be thrilled either; give him the real thing, lol.

They do like to but they aren't terribly good at it lol That's the only thing, I wouldn't want them climbing too high off the ground in case they slip.

I love these! Such active snakes you guys all have!

It was the Back to the Future time machine edition. :cool:

They really are beautiful! Ball pythons will climb if they have to, but they are terrestrial species that is actually more at home on the ground. Specifically underground and in a termite mound or tucked away in a hole. They really don't like to climb. They tolerate it on their way to a place to hide or lay in wait for a meal.

Mine often hangs out on the branches in his cage. He has plenty of ground space and 2 hides but comes out. Hangs in the open on branches for awhile then goes back.

I saw something on television a while back, there's a guy who bought up all the DeLoreans and spare parts, and makes replicas of the movie car from them.

I will have to get some new toys for Butterscotch I think! I've seen him explore more than I thought so my be a couple things to mess with will keep him active

[Princess-dad]

I gave my boys corn snake two vacumn cleaner hose extension tubes put together ,he really likes to hide in them .
