sidewinding

Almost every time I handle her, I let her crawl around, but recently she's been sidewinding around the room, should I be worried???

Re: sidewinding

It's probably due to a lack of traction for the snake to hold onto while slithering. The snake needs to make bigger movements to get anywhere. Don't do this.
