She is so adorable, and is surprisingly chill with being handled. She doesn’t care for the initial pickup, but calms down pretty quick and will just explore my desk as much as she can.
She also has a tendency to stare me down from her cage, especially on feeding days lol
Huh… she’s not distressed and looking for a way to get down from your desk or something, right? Sorry to be a negative Nancy, just want to be sure - my friend had a lizard who behaved similarly and the vet said she was a bit stressed
She’s almost 2 years old I believe. And it’s totally fine, I completely get it lol. I hold her while I sit at my desk usually, and she will usually chill in my lap, wrap around my arms, and lately she has been climbing on the back of my chair.
As far as I can tell, she doesn’t seem stressed, she just sometimes wants to go to my desk or the floor because I don’t let her usually. The one time I let her on my desk, she was fairly chill and was just poking the curtains by my desk. I just don’t like her on my desk too much because I have a rats nest of cables that I’m worried she will get tangled in.
I’m pretty sure she’s not stressed around me. She likes to stare at me while I move about my office, and when I hold her she seems to enjoy being wrapped around my hands. She’s even chilled on my shoulders a few times, and has decided she likes the dark cave that is my shirt sleeve lol. Realistically she spends about 98% of her handling time wrapped around my arms/chair, and occasionally wants to go check out my desk
It’s more of a “she doesn’t want to come out” and she will wrap around cords. It’s more funny/annoying than concerning because she likes to be a pain. She’s even used my headphone cable to try and sneak her way to my desk. I’m glad you asked for clarification! I realized looking back at my first message that it could come off as a bit concerning behavior wise lol.
I’m always glad to talk about Luna! She’s been a great pet to have, and I never really realized how much personality a snake can have
Awww she looks so precious all rolled up like that

How old is she? Her curiosity seems endearing.
