Itchy????

tjgillaspy Dec 22, 2009 11:35 PM

This is the first time we have noticed it, but we just fed both our ball pythons & after finishing their meals, they started rubbing & digging their faces into everything as if they were itching?? Not sure what this is suppose to mean, just wondering if anyone out there has an answer as to why they are doing it or has experienced this w/their own. These are our 1st snakes, so we are still learning about them. Thanks for your help, Jake & Tricia.

They have no hands, how else are they going to wipe their mouths after eating?
