Tail Luring

Do young condros use tail luring to help attract prey? If your captive snake is doing this is it a sign it has little stress or is a sign of something else.

This is a sign that your arboreal friend is hungrey! They do this is the wild to attract prey. Has nothing to do with stress. Pretty neat to watch. I like taking a f/t mouse and tapping the tail.....get a nice feeding responce like this usually.
