Do different species of Snake have different quality of sight? Have noticed that my Bredli bumps into my hands and is very sensitive to the arm hairs, it is generally a bit nervious and apears to tollerate handling well but I am carefull not to startle her. However the Spotted Children's the same age is cool and calm and is very focused with the eye sight.
?is this a Bredli thing or can eye sight generally vary from snake to snake?

I am trying to handle her as often as I can to try and settle her down a bit. As for snakes eyesight I cant offer any advice. I know they use the fork in their tongue to determine direction of prey, but really I have a lot to learn. |

She just ate last night and was too fat to get in her cave. Pretty funny, but I should make the hole bigger. | |
