Hi,
One of my snakes, a 7 year old corn, is ery active right now, she's been moving around her viv like a crazy woman for about a week now.does anyone know why?
I feed her once every 8 days, and she eats and sheds healthily.
Thanks, Kerri x

HMMMMM I have no idea, the only thing that I have heard from others with similar
sounding problems, is that she might be looking to mate, gettin a lil frisky so to speak lol
But do not take my word on it, as I am way to new at this.
I'm sure one of the forum gurus will be here shortly lol

hiya, it is highly likely she is looking for a mate as it is breeding season...

perhaps she gravid and looking for somewhere to lay id put a damp moss box in or even damp scrunched up newspaper if you havent got any moss and see what happens
its a little bit late really for the breeding season but stranger things have happened
has she shed recently ?
also make sure the cool end of the tank is not getting too warm ! my reptile room was 27 degrees ambient the other day and its away from the sun !
