Are millions of years of evolution keeping you from taking your pet snake for a walk?

    They live in tiny holes in the ground normally. So long as you keep them cool they can just doze. Being cold blooded they don't have the same desire to roam about as mamals do. That being said they do have some hunting instinct so you'd have to play it by ear what actually makes them happy. I would imagine that would be fine for short/medium term for most species. Especially the ones that domestic. Like climbing snakes probably not. But corn snakes probably feel more comfortable like that than out in the open.

        Ty <3. I have made the aquantance of a snake recently and I am working to understand her needs and personality and it is kinda wild. Like, their entire body is a hand. I am 100% sure a snake could use a hammer if it wanted. So far she is happier under the dirt and when I take her out to help clean the cage she always bites me a few times. Then she looks offened and maybe pouts when she realizing that biting me doesn't get what she wants. I am still workinf on figuring out her body language

          There isn't much body language to work with!
