Love it Lori ,,,,, I really do love it when u go deep in a educated matter ,,,, I really do love that ' Sweet looking Pied Royals ,, both of them ,,,, Thanks for sharing Queen Lori'
I am super excited about and thoroughly enjoying your series so far! Thank you for the effort you are putting into this to help us all take better care of our Royals. How do I go about sending photos/videos for you for you to share?
I'm glad to know my royal isn't the only scardey snake. He has those dramatic coiling responses at weird things just like Amunet. I'm interested to see what your findings are, as my snake is a very shy, insecure animal who gets stressed in unfamiliar or open spaces unless I'm holding him.
Now that I’ve been working with them a year and a half, I see what a shy and reserved species they are by nature. A recent study has also. Wen published investigating their default fear/distress behavior as being to freeze and hide. On the temperament spectrum they are overall on the shy versus bold end of that category.
That’s what the series is about! I observed them for over a year and will be going through what happened as the series continues along with other Royal Python behavior observations from the others here as well.
They're really interesting snakes I've noticed a lot of cool things just from watching Mine she seem to have interest in thing's that aren't food like some plants and flowers a cloth and some rocks and metal buttons and things like that she will smell them for a very long time but never trys to eat them at least but it is very strange and interesting how she will spend that much time checking some things out with that much effort but could care less about other things
This is fascinating and I'm curious, I notice the diagram of a snake's head points out the cerebellum. I used to work in an animal shelter and sometimes we would get animals in with cerebellar hypoplasia. When I see Spider ball pythons, or other morphs with what is commonly called "wobble" (woma, hidden gene woma, spotnose, champagne, etc,) they appear to me to suffer from something similar, but genetically causing the problem with their cerebellum. I'm not a vet, I don't know for sure, but I'm wondering if you've ever considered including an animal with a disability like wobble in your training? I have a Spotnose Mojave that has a slight wobble, but I also observe, he's appears to be self aware of his disability and actually has exhibited fairly intelligent behavior. I know in dogs and cats the condition doesn't necessarily effect intelligence. Also, anecdotal reports have shown that snake's with wobble seem to have an easier time if allowed more exercise and climbing opportunities. Have you thought of including a snake with wobble to see how they would react to training and if the training could help these animals with disabilities?
We have a snake here with severe neurological issues. She is a Jaguar Carpet Python. She’s very intelligent and always did well with training. She caught on very quickly. She’s been suffering for about a year and a half now with presumptive neurologic dysphasia. She can’t eat or swallow and has to be fed a liquid diet via a stomach tube.
@@LoriTorrini Oh, no, I'm so sorry to hear she's not doing well! Is the neurological issue in carpet pythons, the same one found in royal pythons? Is there any scientific information out there on what specific part of the brain is effected in each species? I've heard it's the neural crest in ball pythons, but is it the same disease process or defect in carpet pythons? And has her condition I assume, impacted her training?
Another great video, really interesting hearing the background about testing. Lovely seeing other people’s Royals too🧡
Looking forward to the future videos. Thank you for taking the time to make this series Lori
I love all the foundational information you're going over for the study :) It's well thought-out.

I get so excited for Thursdays now!
I really enjoy this series. I can’t wait for the next one!

How do I go about sending photos/videos for you for you to share?
Thank you! Facebook Messenger or email are the easiest ways for me to receive photos and short videos.

Wonderful! Are you going to offer that Royals on the Ranch tshirt in your store???
Yes. I have some prototype shirts and stickers done. This was a sample.
So what were the results of the habitat preference testing?
That’s what the series is about! I observed them for over a year and will be going through what happened as the series continues along with other Royal Python behavior observations from the others here as well.
