"I've only recently been showing him the affection mentioned earlier, because it dawned on me that if he's showing me affection by squeezing, the best way for me to show it back is by squeezing, so I press firmly with my finger as I stroke him kind of deal."
After some time here, and doing research, I've lately theorized that a snake can feel comfortable in their environment. Comfortable/safe with their Handler. But if they're squeezing that means they are clinging to you because they think they are about to fall.
Also... Tickling isn't a form of affection... it's aggressive play. It's a form of torture. And this might be my opinion, but tickling may make humans laugh (uncontrollable reaction) but it doesn't mean it's fun. Too often, and you're being mean. Too much, and it's seriously just creepy. Especially if the tickler is far bigger and stronger.
This post I shared kinda gave me some "creep" vibes. Mostly due because of the wording she (or he?) used. "Humping?"
I just... I don't even know...
