    What is the funnest thing you do with your snake?

    I'm curious as to what everyone does when they get there BP's out to play. So what do you and your BP usually do?

    I don't "play" with mine - they really only tolerate handling. I sit quietly with them, admire their colors and patterning and then put them back up and appreciate that they once again allowed me to enjoy them.

    Pretty much the same. I rotate a schedule where I clean 2 bins a day and during the cleanings I keep the BP around my neck while I clean their tub to keep them tolerant of human interaction. Other than that I try not to take them out too much to avoid stress.

    If I want an anaimal to play with I'll get a cat or dog.

    lol, this just made my day

    True the funnest part of keeping BP's for me is feeding day!

    Re: What is the funnest thing you do with your snake?

    The only "fun" thing I do with my BP's is letting my 3 year old daughter hold them and learn about them. I only let her hold my males since they are a lot calmer and it usually once every week or two for about 3-5 minutes. Other then that, feeding day is the only day that is really fun for the both of us.

    I like to show him to my kid neighbours from time to time, and on nice, quiet days, I let him explore the grass outside of my house

    PixieMaple, thats what I was looking for. As soon as my new baby ball is comfortable enough and its a nice enough day, I would like to do that.

    Re: What is the funnest thing you do with your snake?

    Mine like to play computer games with me. Akashi, Koroku, Kuri, and Mauro are all computer junkies.

    Nago is a napper, he like to sleep with his head on my shoulder when I read.

    Kina loves a good game of hide and seek under the blanket on my bed.

    Toki is a model, she loves to see how long she can hold a pose.

    Mystic and Yakul just play turtle with me.

    Little Okoto likes to play tug-o-rat with me, so I watch my fingers with him.

    Little Kodama doesn't come out to play yet, he doesn't trust me.

    I get mine back, but by that time I really really do not want it.
