# Sneaky_Snake's Week of Havoc

Ya wouldn't believe the ruckus my python, Sneaky_Snake, caused this week. I woke up on Monday to find him wrapped around the fridge, trying his best to open it.

Left him to his little project, sneaky bugger managed to get it to open by Tuesday. There's nothing quite like finding your milk jug on the floor and your gainz protein scattered everywhere.

Wednesday, he made himself comfy in my laundry pile. The issue? It was supposed to be washed. My clothes are now smelling of python and the laundry scent. Who needs a chick magnet when you've got python scent, right?

The climax to his week-long chaos took place yesterday when he wrapped himself around my gaming PC while I was mid-game. Cycle heating won't be an issue anymore, Sneaky_Snake's doing a great job. Strangest PC cooler ever.

On a more serious note, any professionals got any advice for dealing with a python that's too clever for his own good, or should I brace myself for another week with my snake fridge opener/PC cooler?

It might be dangerous for him & your home. Try stimulating him with various snake puzzles and games. You can make some yourself or buy them online. Additionally, regulate his temperature better; it sounds like he's trying to warm up on your PC. An under tank heater should do the trick. No to being a PC cooler, yes to being wise and comfy!

  Pythons are intelligent, curious creatures, they need proper stimulation. Provide various hideaways and climbing spaces in his enclosure. Walking and exploring is excellent, but keep an eye on him during these times. Fridge raiding might be funny, but there's risk involved – injury and damage.
  
  Pythons enjoy warm spots, his choice of your PC suggests he might be a bit cold. Check the terrarium temp. Provide a warmer spot – maybe a heat mat, are you using any different heating sources?
  
  Regarding python scent on your clothes, don't wash the outfits with regular detergent. Try a pet-friendly one, it's safe & fights the reptile smell. Rock the python scent, dude!
- **u/ReptileKing** (resident, score 0, id `3hk`): Y'all gotta learn proper python care. Smh 🤦‍♂️ Your snake is cold, that's why it's wrapped around your PC. Get a heat mat, ASAP!
- **u/ExoticPetPal** (resident, score 0, id `3hl`): Hey man, just chucklin at your story. Have a bearded dragon, not as sneaky, but I get the chaos. About Sneaky_Snake, is his terrarium decked out? Maybe, if he had more activities there, he'd cause less trouble 'round the house. Good luck!
