Eigentlich würde ich gerne meine Reichweite für meine Projekte oder politische Aktivität nutzen, aber mir fällt heute nichts Gescheites ein.
Deswegen gibt es jetzt Bilder von meiner #Kornnatter Cornelius „Corny“ von Quetsch. Er ist eine unfassbar niedliche #Schlange und liebt es, mich zu beobachten.
Anfassen ist aber scheiße. 😂

Top enrichment sources, according to my #snakes (a #cornsnake and a #ballpython)

-underside of the fridge (forbidden)

-the balcony and scents of the outside world in general

-those stiff plastic fibre bags from Ikea that I use for storage (they love wedging themselves between other things already in there)

-tub of dirt

-bookshelves

-the vacuum cleaner

-potted plants, newspaper sheets and kitchen paper rolls*

The #cornsnake is displeased that I took a photo with flash of her hiding spot in my bookshelf.

Always fascinating to observe how seasonal changes affect the activity levels of my #snakes.

As the days continue to lengthen, the #cornsnake becomes more and more active. She wants to be let out of her terrarium every evening. I used to put her into a little mesh exercise pen, but she keeps wanting out of that too, so now I just let her free-roam the apartment.

Due to her size, she needs to be supervised almost constantly to ensure she doesn’t end up somewhere she shouldn’t be.

Here’s the #cornsnake staring me down while sleeping in her log hide (snakes don’t have eyelids)

Made a little video of some test footage I took of my snakes using my new #macro lens (with a bonus slug and bug cameo):

I think the footage is quite decent for my standards, but man, is it hard to stay focused on an animal in motion!

In good news Bucket has been taking her food without braining the past couple of weeks. HOORAY. She's clearly feeling much stronger and better these days. #CornSnake

Here’s my #cornsnake in her exercise tent (briefly) attempting to be fossorial by burying her head in a flower pot. Never saw her do this before but it was very deliberate. Maybe I should give her a box of dirt…

For #SnakeSaturday - here’s my #cornsnake giving you the #snake equivalent of a side-eye.

Hanging out. #CornSnake #snake

Discovered another #Etsy gem! They really do have everything…

Here's my contribution to #SnakeSaturday. I call this photoseries "The #cornsnake and the quail egg".

Though it looks like the #snake is reacting to the #egg, she was likely just yawning. In fact, she didn't seem to care much for it at all. Even after I scented it with a mouse, she still refused to eat it!

I set out a bunch of things for the snakes to explore for enrichment. Bucket declined. #CornSnake

This may be a simple shopping bag but I had to get it as I’m sucker for anything #snake related, especially this design with its #cornsnake and #kingsnake print.

I sure hope that Bucket stops needing her food brained soon because it's slightly revolting. Not as bad as when I had to chop them up for Dart, but still. I'd rather not.

She's almost big enough for fuzzies! #snake #CornSnake

I don't feel that full, could I get some more? #pupu #扑扑 #CornSnake

Just posted a new #YouTube video all about my #cornsnake !

This update covers some of the successes and failures of target training, a #snake biting itself (but not getting hurt), weight gain, suspicious lumps and a spontaneous vet visit, as well as musings on whether we should prophylactically deworm #snakes.

It even gets a bit biochemical at one point because I love going on unnecessary tangents.
