Anyone who has a snake for a pet will agree that it’s much easier to deal with a happy snake than an angry snake. What we have here is a very grumpy snake. Professor Snape here is getting ready to shed her skin, which is a much easier thing to do when there’s humidity in her cage. In theory, the kids are supposed to remember to spray down the cage every morning.
Obviously that didn’t happen this morning. When I got home this evening, I opened her cage to take her out for her nightly visit to the warmth of my shirt…but she was having none of that shit. Snakes are generally grumpy when they’re shedding because it’s uncomfortable for them (think of it as PMS for snakes), but Snape is a fairly easy-going girl. It took me a few minutes to realize that the cypress bark in her cage was bone dry.
I filled the spray bottle, misted her with warm water and VOILA! She’s much happier.
