Just had Florence out for a slither and did my usual, snake round arm, settling in for the night, put laptop on table ready to view and sat down at table. Florence normally explores the table then settles on my lap for a while.....not tonight, oh no! she went under the table and through the extending mechanism. She refused to go through completely and also refused to go back so i ended up under the table, on my back, begging her to come to me! meanwhile my dogs are looking on and I'm panicking that they will get too close! She spent most of the time with her head and most of body laying on my head while i lay beneath but she seemed determined to venture into the mechanism further.

After an age and promises of very big tasty rats for tea, she went further through so that just her tail was holding her on, so i quite forcefully pushed it through and she clung round my neck as she dropped.

Another few mins to recover, (me, not her!) and she was back in her viv!

If it wasnt for the dogs i would have left her to sort herself out but i wasnt prepared to risk it!

So much for chilling out with my snake tonight!

Ha, dont you just love pets with attitude?!

How do your dogs react to your snake? I have 2 Alaunts, (Big hunting dogs) they seem totaly unimpressed by my snakes yet when we see adders in the fields they go on point and get worried by them, dont make much sense!
