Do you check on your snakes? (or other reptiles)
I keep seeing (on the dark side surprisingly enough) posts where they say..."I checked my snake on friday and it was fine but today (sunday) i checked and it was dead".
Not being funny, but I check on mine about 4 times a day minimum, even if it's only to check the temps i have a quick peek in at them too...
I don't understand how you can have pets and only look in on them every couple of days or so....
Or is it just me being paranoid? |

| At least morning and night when they were upstairs, now they're back in the living room every time I'm passing. Mostly for my own interest to see what (if anything!) they're up to. |

| The first thing I do each morning is check them all and the last thing at night. When ever someone goes into the room where they are they always give a report as to what they are up to. |

Yeah my royal in my bedrrom in flat so at least 2 or 3 times daily. My corns are in my bedroom at my parents (not enough room at flat). My sister goes in there daily to change water and check temps etc. She won't feed them so my dad also checks them when he feeds them, and when I go back to see friends and family I check her all the time.
If people don't check them often they shouldn't have them, they're not ornaments! |

| i'll check the corns every other day when i do their waters but the boas are usually more sociable so i see them several times a day but don't specifically check on them... |
