This post made me laugh. Snakes can't do anything BUT stare. They can't close their eyes.

When the snake is hiding all day with her head just visible, it's probably asleep. Been crawling around and just stopped for a bit with their head raised or poking out of a hole in a hide and pointed in your direction? I take that to actually be awake and looking at me.

on topic!
My snake does the staring thing too, I check in on her, she's curled up in a hide, look away for a few minutes and look back, and her head is out, staring at me o.o; if I try to stare back at her, she'll slowly recoil back into her hide and flick her tongue a bit... She generally wanders her tank every day after she's done digesting, and will quite often stop along the side of the tank or in the top half of her log and poke her head out an inch or two, and just stare o.o;
She's an incredibly calm creature too, has never even posed to strike at me, is fine with petting and will just sit on your hand... incredibly shy i think, but calm and curious once she gets comfy. doesn't move around a lot either when handled, strange for a baby
