Snake depression

[solid9]

right this is just after reading something from another site but how can you spot if your snake is depressed? i mean i can tell with my bosc- head down and a general CENSORED off demeanour but how can you tell with a snake? is it just general malaise? listlessness? not feeding?hiding more than usual? not "in the form" when it comes to handling?

interesting topic, I have never read anything on depression in snakes (if it exits)

I have seen a change in behavior in snakes when taken from a natural looking setup to a basic sterile set up, but then other snakes strive in either set up.
