RE: One photo every day: Kiemis again (199/365)
I've never stroked the snake. I wonder how its skin feels like.
Hmmm... maybe I should buy a domestic cobra for myself :d

Very smooth. :) I can't quite describe what it feels, you need to try yourself. It seems to divide opinions even in our small household. ;)
Smooth and cool. My daughter did not like touching it.
That kind of depends on whether the snake has been in a warm or cooler place in the terrarium, as they are ectothermic, they adapt to the surrounding temperature. Kiemis is often warm to the touch if she's been under the UV lamp or on the warming mat. Ectothermicity is also the reason they go into hibernation in Winter.
That's right.
How much visibly does the behavior of Kiemis depend on the ambient temperature or exposure to direct sources of warmth?
