Boy do I feel silly....
I have researched and researched and have met some wonderful knowledgeable people and have learned so much regarding ball pythons and their care, etc...and I just found out they don't "hear" like we do...
So I talk to my snakes on a regular basis, and now it makes me sad that they can't even hear me lol. Just had to share that.

Re: Boy do I feel silly....
Oh I talk to mine all the time. I'm sure they can hear me and understand me. They seem to like my singing, too; and, really, that's the most important part of any relationship. Putting up with each other.

Unless I've unknowingly slipped another gear, snakes have all the bones needed to hear but lack an entrance for sound to work them.
They do feel the vibration of your voice though. I think they do, anyway.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?
Stinky says, "Women should be obscene but not heard." Stinky is one smart man.

Yeah I've read they "hear" just not like we do, it's more of a vibration thing...idk I liked to think they knew my voice, when I don't think they physically can lol

If it helps...... Talk to them all you want!
I believe mine hears me and I will not hear anything, that says ant different LOL
I might be weird, but I talk to all my animals!

I talk to all my animals, no matter if they are scaled, feathered, or furred. I know the snakes do not understand me though. I still talk to them anyway. Mostly it is things like "Oh my god! That dump is as big as you are!" or "Don't you dare bite me!" and things like "The rat! Not me!"

Re: Boy do I feel silly....
I work from home and my snakes are in my office. When I'm working on something, I'll ask them questions and what they think. My frog is on my desk and I talk to him all the time. So don't feel silly!

I talk to mine all the time, and I've only had him a week.  He seems to like it when I hum sometimes, he rests his head against my cheek when I do anyway, so I'm assuming he likes it. lol
