What are some cute things your corn does?

yep apparently alot of corns do that mine is getting a little too big to do it and he doesn't realize it yet lol.
Two things that Freyja did that I though were pretty neat:
1. She LOVED to climb. She was one of those who would hang out at the top of her cage unless she had eaten recently. I added a bunch of fake vines and cleaned branches and it became a circus. She would weave in and out of them every evening. My boys and I would watch her do this often.
2. She would always poop when she was out of her Viv. I actually stuck with feeding her in a separate container because if I did not, she would poop on me a couple days later. As long as she was out of her Viv for 30 min to eat and poop, I didn't get any on me. I loved this because the feeding container was small enough to throw in the dishwasher!
Sadly, she escaped and was never found (Sister-in-law left the lid loose, she climbed out). But, I have a new boy Freddy who seems very different so far. Even for a little snake (about 4 months old) he doesn't hide much. He seems to prefer being stretched out across one of his hides more often than not.

I think it's somehow cute, that both of my snakes always want to eat so that they hold to your hand with their tails and not letting go, before they've eaten their pinkies.
And Apophis, ghost corn, she always yawns after she's eaten, that is soooo cute!
First time she did it, I was certain that she is sick and having difficulties to breathe or something - yeah, sometimes I'm a bit hysterical about my pets, if they don't seem to be all ok. But nah, she is fine in all ways, and she does that yawning always when she'd eaten. And then she's looking for more to eat..
Bloodred corn, Nephthys, she's quite hideous if she's not really hungry, you don't see her much. Apophis then again, always when I enter the room, she pokes out her head and like asking: "so what are we up to today? Eating?". And she is so lively, always ready to come out and "play".

I feel so bad for my buddy right now. he went blue about 2 days before feeding day but i offered him food anyway and he took right to it. feeding day was 2 days ago and still no shed. that 4 days after blue and no shed. after handling him today i noticed he still hasn't pooped from the meal, which is normal for him but i would just hate to have old skin on me and be filled with poop too lol. i picked him up and he just wanted to curl up in a ball in my hand and go back to sleep. so i put him back and he decided to go straight into the warmest hide in his viv and go back to sleep lol. hopefully tomorrow i'll wake up to a full and complete shed and a nice big stinky poop and a happy snake haha
Not something common but I found it funny. I've been away on a training course for the last week, and Snake was in blue not long before that so I hadn't had much contact apart from cleaning.
When I got back I went to check on Snake, opened the lid and the little bugger pretty much jumped half way out of the enclosure, just sat there still for a few minutes after seeing me and slowly backed away back into the enclosure
Then later when I was handling them, they coiled around my wrist pretty firmly and were just hanging off my arm for a minute or so, only seems to do that shortly after a shed.

Okay I keep reading the cute things such as only feeding when the owner has the snake in their hand etc. Well that accidently happened just now when feeding. Forgot to take the mouse out of the feeding box before lowering snake in.
The snake went from above and grabbed the fuzzy, then pulled the thing up to my hand rather than going down the little git. Nearly had the snake eating out the palm of my hand quite literally.

whenever I let my snow corn slither through my hair, he sometimes crawls to the top of my head and stays still, like he's king of the world! :cheers:
He will not move for minutes beyond while in that position.

It's probably staying still because its trying to take a dump. I get paranoid now whenever my snake stops moving for more than 30 seconds because that's generally what follows shortly after.
Freddy has decided to add something, not sure if I would call it "cute" but it is definitely interesting. Freddy weighs all of 13g right now. Consistently every 2 days, he knocks over his water bowl. Not, "gets in and it overflows." Knocks over his ceramic bowl. Not sure how he is pulling this off or why he wants me to have to clean that part of the viv ever 2 days, but it is interesting to see that a tiny snake can do this over and over.
