When your pet snake stretches out next to you, however, they’re only seeking cover, warmth or simply exploring. A snake in hunting/feeding mode behaves very differently – coiled, tense muscles and ready to strike – and that behaviour becomes very easy to identify for an experienced keeper. Feeding is the very last thing on the mind of a vulnerable, exposed pet snake that’s stretched out beside you.
