Bizarre Behavior

I have come to the conclusion Loretta is a typical woman in that I will never understand her. She does things that I just dont see any snake doing or hear about it.

For about a week now everynight at about 9 o'clock Loretta comes out of hiding and watches my every move. I usually am at my desk doing homework or drawing or something, but her head will follow me no matter where I go in the room. She also does this in the mornings while I pace back and forth geting ready for school.

Another thing she did which I think is bizarre is this morning when I woke up she was in her tank hissing really loud. i have no idea why or what she was hissing at but thats what she was doing. I went up to her and she was hiding under her newspaper and had just her head sticking out and when she realized I was there she looked at me then pulled her head under the newspaper, then back out, under the newspaper and then back out, she did it like 6 times until she finally just stayed under.

Any explination? Do any of your snakes have this weird behavior?

LOL!
All my colubrids are in our bedroom and I see them watching me all the time. Some even come to the front of their cages when I approach.

The hissing incident. Most likely something startled her, perhaps a loud alarm clock ringing, a bright light coming on, or possibly a quick unexpected move by you as you were waking up. Once freaked out she was hiding and then looking to see if you had gone away. finally she gave up and decided to stay hidden.

Well the alarm clock incident isnt a possibility as it hadnt gone off yet and then she cant see me from where she is because the first three inches of her tank is plywood. I dunno maybe a noise outside or so did it but I think she was playing

lol o well it was cute all the same
