| My kingsnake would do the same thing, I don't think it was for any particular reason other than she enjoyed it. Just be careful, my girl developed a large water blister with this habit, that I'm treating right now. |

this is my first snake but my roomate had a ball python that i picked alot of stuff up from, but this is my first snake and would like the best experience for me and her that i can get..
and what would a water blister look like is it something i will notice right away? ATM she has great skin very shiny and smooth |
