That is such a cursed combination of words. She climbed into my credit card holders metal loop while I was answering a Teams message and got stuck. Only started backing out voluntarily when I lubed her up. She’s all right now, there was only a slight hint of a dent about 5 minutes later and it’s all gone by now.

This is a shitpost because I realize that this situation is fertile grounds for puns and innuendos. Go ahead.

    i am aware that i shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but didn’t expect a snake to do silly stuff like that, i mean while looking so elegant.

      Oh you’d be surprised, snakes are notoriously derpy. Mine especially loves climbing as high as she can at night and falling down with a loud thump 🥲

        Can confirm! My hognose likes throwing stones off his ledge, too. The first time we heard a muffled thunk thunk we had no idea where the sound was coming from.

        Then again, even among snakes, hognoses are derp champions.

        Our ball python loves it. We had to put multiple curtain rods at the top of their (we’re assuming female but aren’t sure) enclosure and they still manage to fall off it on a daily basis.

        I always chuckle when I see someone say that ball pythons don’t climb.

      They got really REALLY good at a particular niche. They suck at everything else.

      I say this as a loving python parent.
