If You Give A Snake A Tube....

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.

Re: If You Give A Snake 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...

Re: If You Give A Snake A Tube....

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

Re: If You Give A Snake A Tube....

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.

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.
