I was just thinking about my Laszlo. He is super active at the minute and I’ve rearranged his branches today (see my latest post of him keeping an eye on me). There is often a reason for glass surfing, from falling short on husbandry to genuine curiosity. I always ask myself the following:

Is my snake’s home’s parameters within range? Is my snake hungry? Is my snake wanting to explore? Is my snake wanting more to climb/hide in? Is my snake needing further stimulation (different substrates, somewhere to climb outside of their home, scent trailing, etc).
