a. The more traffic and noise around your new snake enclosure can cause a lot of stress on the poor little guy or girl. Snakes are very secretive animals and do a lot of hiding to keep away from predators. When there is a lot of noise and traffic, then they may not feel hidden enough and start to get stressed which can lead to aggression, infrequent feeding, and other problems.

Makes sense, but my question is do i need to move my tank from this area, if they snake isn't aggressive, and has been eating fine? And if i do move it, will be it an issue to carry the tank with the snake in it downstairs, or should i remove the snake and then move the tank?

Is your snake enclosure in an high noise and traffic area and is your snake show sign of stress? If so than yes... move the enclosure.

I don't think so. She's docile and friendly, and i've had her for about 2 weeks now and when i handle her she doesn't hook on to things in the tank anymore, and she doesn't try to run away as much. I don't see a lot of signs of stress personally. But i know i get stressed when stupid people in my house tap on the glass or yell near the tank. I might move it more for me than the snake. Lately, even though she's in her blue cycle she hasn't been very active, but that might be just because of the blue cycle.

Corns and the Kiss theory (to me) go hand and hand.
Keep it simple.
They are easy snake to take care.
We are the one who make it complicated.

Roger That! I'm sure she's fine where she is, but i'm just a worry wort. I'll see what she's like after she sheds, and determine if she needs to be moved. I don't want to move her if i don't have to because it's nice having her out in the open in the living room to look at, but the basement is where i live, and i'd have her all to myself, but i have to remember snakes are not like dogs. They don't need lovey dovey attention. It's pitch black downstairs to so at night she'll love it. Thanks Lenny

What exactly is the kiss theory?

Keep it simple, stupid!

oh aight, lol i have heard that one before. ok fair enough

You know, I was going to leave this alone in the regular forum and limit my comments to my PM to Jimmy, but I can't. I was alerted to the possibility of these two accounts being the same person from Jimmy's slip-up in his "snake tracking" thread, and so I did some investigating, and I found out that they registered from the same IP and they are posting from the same IP (and they are the only members using that IP address). Then I found examples like this where the accounts are talking to or praising each other.

I don't like it, and I think you owe the members of this forum an apology, Jimmy. I didn't want to publicly "out" you, but I think it may be for your own good that I do so. The little exchange that I quoted above is too creepy to ignore. I think that if you apologize, things may turn out ok for you here. The members here are good people. But if you persist in trying to make fools of us, I can promise that you won't have a place here.

Think about it, and do the right thing. The game is over.

Busted.............

Thanks Dean. I am sad that Jimmy has chosen to do this to himself. I was one of the members trying to offer him a little support and now I feel stupid and embarassed for doing so.
