Hi everyone I'm new to posting, although I've been reading a lot on here and i was hoping someone can help me coz there seem to be some pretty knowledgeable people on here I've got a corn snake and today right after I fed him and put him back in his viv he started roaming around but jerking his head and body. So I'm just hoping there's nothing wrong with him. I've seen vids of snake having a seizure and his movements were not as violent as that and he didn't go limp. He's not off his food coz he just ate and he's back to normal now, just exploring his viv which I clean when I take him out to feed him (so I guess it smells pretty strange when he gets back in!), hope someone knows what this is.... Thanks! Extra info: snake is 5yrs, bout 5ft, lives in a 4ft by 20" by 18" viv, 30C at one end 22C at the other, I clean with trigene at 1:100, feed 1 medium mouse a week and he's just shed last night
It's breeding season at the moment and that jerking movement that you describe sounds like what a male snake does to stimulate a female snake into sexy time
Thanks Mamma, Kez and eeji. Aw so he's just lookin for a good time ! That's cool they do a dance for the ladies, better than a cheesy chat up line lol! Cheers again for replying x
Jittery snake
