Sleeping position

The Northern White-Lipped Python often shows some interesting sleeping positions in captivity
in that it lays its head laterally on it's body coils. This can be
ovserved in several specimens, and other snake keepers report similar
observations. Figure 18A-B: A: A Northern White-Lipped Python sleeping with it's head layed latterally on the body coils. B: The same specimen sleeping with it head up side down under a piece of bark. |
