Recently, I've been working with my two boys on polishing natural wrapping behaviors. Harvey (a little over 1 year old) will wrap my neck right away, and Mikey (6 months old) will wrap my wrist right away. Harvey doesn't like wrists, and Mikey doesn't like necks. Oh, well.
Mikey is the superstar. He will come to my hand when I open his enclosure and call him. It takes a while, but he comes. Also, when I set him on my chest and make kissy noises, he will come to my lips, then my nose, and sometimes he actually climbs up on my nose around my face! My boyfriend really laughs when he does that. My boyfriend David noticed last week when he leaned down to say good morning to Mikey, he actually stood straight up and put his nose to the mesh right next to David! I was thrilled, because David was not initially thrilled about these guys, but now he's liking them more.
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for other cool things to teach my snakes?
