    Erm, Pretzel thinks she's a cat.

    I'm not serious. Obviously. I was just wondering if any of your snakes have...I don't know how to word it really. Is there anything in particular they like doing, or having done to them...?

    This might explain a bit better...

    My other half and I went to visit a friend and his family. They have quite a few snakes, Carpet Pythons, Boa constrictor, Texan X Yellow Ratsnake and various others.
    And a Ball Python called Ducky

    Anyway Ducky likes to have his chin tickled!! I was like Cutest thing ever. So I was having a chat with Pretzel one day and she let me do it and she sortve stuck her head and neck up (meerkat style) and nuzzled my finger... Then let me sit and rub her head gently and REALLY seemed to like it!

    Bless her. She looked at me like "AWHHH MAN you've discovered my secret...I'M A BIG SOFTY!...Now love me." She also seems to have a ticklish tummy.

    Anybody else got a ticklish snake?

    Re-reading that post makes me sound like a right weirdo...

    But seriously? Nobody else has this?

    My boas enjoy when I scratch under their chins, or at least appear to as the rub it along my finger. I think all my snakes are ticklish on their tummies though lol

    P.S. We're all total weirdos

    Quetzal likes getting his chin scratched, stretches up and leans agains my finger when I do it. He also likes having the top if his head rubbed and will push his head against my finger when I do it :3 Doesn't seem too impressed with tummy rubs though, he'll lift and flatten his belly away from me when I try.

    My female rubs her chin and neck on my fingers when I hold her. She'll just go back and forth sometimes. It's very strange. Freaked me out at first, but I'm secure in the fact that she's not going to eat my fingers at this point.

    Thumbs up

    My Biggie also don't mind when I tickle him under his chin. We handle him and let him loose in our room almost every day, except feeding days. This fat boy hasn't refused to eat since we got him (since August 2011).

    Wicked I made a video earlier, and she was in no mood but when our friend popped over and my other half came home from work she was playing to the crowd, getting tummy tickles and headrubs and chin tickles Such a little tart. Anything for a tickle.
