 Cute pic. I always laugh when they do that. When I was breeding mice, I had to move their cages into the room where the snakes were once. My bp did that pretty much the whole time. She/he might be trying to see something but I doubt it. Nice little bp! Rating: 5/5

Ask me

I believe they do that to get a better location of more distant prey. The higher up they are the farther their heat sensers can detect distant prey. They usually flick their tongue as they do it. I have a 20 + footer that does it. Sometimes getting as high as 6 or 7 feet off the floor. Cool picture man. Rating: 5/5
