It seems like a really minor point to be so staunchly "old school" about. There's no harm in it. Could someone potentially cause harm to their snake by tightly tying or gluing some weird hat onto their snake's head? I suppose so...but such a person is probably causing all sorts of harm to their animal anyhow, and a few cute pictures of snakes wearing hats (or the absence of such pictures) isn't going to change that.
Really, there's so little potential for true harm. In my opinion, there IS plenty of potential for good to come of it. How many people who are reluctant to like, or are indifferent to snakes are turned around by pictures that make the animals look particularly cute, friendly, and/or something they can relate to? Would they win over staunch haters who kill every snake they encounter? Probably not...but even then, who can say?
I don't think everyone needs to rush out and make hats for their snakes and try to convince the snakes that wearing them is "fun"...but for the few people that do, and manage to get fun pictures...why not?

Hi Judy, I guess I can see your perspective. But at the same time I just don't like the whole concept. Can we just agree not to nessecary agreeing.

LOL...sure. Not everyone has to "get" everything someone else does. Especially when it comes to something so random, whimsical and downright silly.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: How do you make snake hats?
http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showpost.php?p=2337898 I have been thinking about this but I probably won't ever do it. Anyway, this thread has some (follow the link on the thread for more) and I believe they are clay.

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful replies. I have a boa who isn't shy at all of her head already and just got a baby ball python that I'm raising to not be so afraid of head contact (what if I need to inspect or observe a future health issue in the head area?). I've seen the pictures and videos of snakes with hats and the positive responses from people who don't necessarily even like snakes because it seems to make them more appealing. My sister is afraid of snakes and I think making it cuter would ease some of the tension when she visits. I don't plan on having an extensive portfolio like Gandalf but hoped to know how to do it safely should the situation arise.
