Hey all,
I was just showing a mate my coastal and she got very clingy to my hand and really squirmy almost tied herself in a knot.
When I went to put her into her enclosure she wasn't as keen to go in as she normally is and when she did go in she was all squirmy again untill she sellted into her fav posi.
Is this normal?
What does it mean?
Educated/experienced answers please ! NO GUESSING !!!!
Cheers.

it is good though that you can notice differences in your snakes behaviour.
cheers

thanks grass!
Just wanting to know she's ok and more for my education than anything else.
I assumed it was because she could smell someone else and also wondered if it could because of aftershave etc (as he was on his way out)
Cheers.
