Is this normal to have a snake explore his tub upside down?
little guy starts up the side, then when he reaches the top, he moves as if he was crawling on the ceiling normally, but he's upside down!! Then, he falls over kinda still backwards and resets himself. I know snakes aren't supposed to be upside down at all like that, because that is not natural. what do you all think?
I'd take pics right now, but my camera just conveniently broke.

do you mean like there spine is on the bottom of the tub and there belly scales are facing up or do you mean part of his body is like that because it is normal (well for me it is) with bps

Normal, mine does it all the time, and I've seen it elsewhere. He's probably hungry and looking for that magical hand in the sky.

haha Mike! You might be right! I'm gonna have to buy mice today so they can feed. It is feeding time.
Hey todd, his spine isn't on the ground when he explores. He explores the top of the tub like he was crawling normally on the bottom. His spine is facing the floor, but his belly is right next to the top.

Cool, as long as you had this happen to you Mike, then I feel good.
Anyone else see this?

I had a couple of them doing it last night. It's pretty normal I see them doing it all the time. My corn's do it just as much.

Would like to see pictures of your set up. It's quite easy to purchase a disposable cam and have the pictures digitalized.

You said you put a "pinky" Pinky or whatever in a tank..yet, claiming quite a few animals. Pics Please! Smile

I think I have to buy a new battery for my camera, I have a rack system. They are in tubs right now, I'd love to show you Deb! The sweater boxes or the 28qt size.

I need some guidance on when to upgrade their tub size.
As well as, if the tubs are too big for them. I'll try to get the camera working by tonight, if not, soon Smile

I posted a vid a while back, and in the beginning he's in his feeding tub with a lid on it, and he's upside down like you describe.
