Baby Burm Question

[blake]

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it seems that I have been noticing some strange behavior from my baby burm. She is around 4 months old and is growing quite nicely. She is eating regularly every 7 days, the temps are good in the aquarium but she doesn't move much. And when she does, it is kind of lethargic and jerky. I notice this most when I am going to handle her. I took her to the vet before her first shed since I have had her and he said she was healthy. Does this sound normal to anyone or has anyone experienced anything like this? Any info would be great. I am driving myself crazy trying to figure it out.

I have a burmese the same age and first off these are lethargic animals, the only times these snakes move other to do with breeding is, to find heat for digestion, to find water, and to find a safe place, and sometimes for food but they are ambush predators so this is not often, the Reticulated Pythons will actually chase after a prey item. My snakes head is jerky aswell I think its fine, just don't think about and it won't bother you.

ya i have noticed my burms head being a bit jerky at times as well but i dont realy think it is a problem. also alot of times people dont see there snakes move around because they dont watch them at 2-3 am. i sleep above my snake so i can hear her ratteling around. but i wouldnt worry about it.

Thats so funny Mike that you sleep above your snake, I am building an exzibit the same size as yours 4x8 and I will probably be sleeping under it.
