    males or females?

    now this is just a little poll for fun. im bored therefore im posting it.

    most of us handle our snakes from time to time. me, i tend to take one out per day at least. but whats strikes me is that i tend to lean towards my females more times then not. i dont know what it is i just love to play and let them see more of the world then my little guys.

    so do you guys and gals tend to lean more toward your males or females when it comes to bonding time, play time, or w/e time it may be for them at the time they are out.(like bp elizabeth take hers out for potty time)

    Re: males or females?

    I love females cause they get so much bigger, but when its handling time it really doesn't matter.
    Absolutely obsessed with ball pythons!

    Re: males or females?

    I handle my male and female pretty much the same. I do not have a specific preference.

    Re: males or females?

    I said male, just because my boys are more outgoing than the gals... Mona loves to come out and "play," but Nerissa is indifferent, and the other girls (Delilah & Rosalind) can be downright witchy about it. My boys are all pretty cool, and have less of a tendency to get stuck/hidden in places while out. Not sure if any of this is gender-related, or simply the personalities of my particular snakes - perhaps a little of both?

    Re: males or females?

    P.S. My corn snakes are a different story, kind of the opposite scenario... the girls are super outgoing, and the boys are definitely more shy (especially Joxer the ghost).

    Re: males or females?

    my females seem to be the ones that bite where my males are always happy to be out.

    Re: males or females?

    I do take mine out for poddy time....like clock work...every Wednesday..lol...even the new baby is on board now!!

    I only have one male.....so I dunno. I think they all have their silly personalities. I love hanging with 3 of mine. I must say that my butter Samantha is a total brat and only likes to hang with Daddy.
