    This is good! ^.^

    It's nice to see an animal like me, especially a snake because I always thought in general they were pretty mean but Gizmo's a sweetheart. I've tried this several times, I've put him in random places in my room ex. my bed, ontop of the nightstand, TV. And everytime, he has come right too me. He doesn't even wait to pick me up he just slithers up my leg.


    Is this a sign that he likes me or, is it because of body heat?

    Snakes don't really have the "social" skills to really like you on the same level you may like him, but I absolutely feel like they eventually recognize their keepers as non-threatening and will eventually stop being defensive in our presence (and there's others that just flat out fear you no matter how many times you reach in to change a water bowl). Thats about as close to "snake love" as you're gonna get!

    Ah, I know but it all depends on their personality no matter what species of animal. But does anyone elses snake do this?

    He also seems to like it because I fell asleep last night with him. I would have thought he would slither away but he stayes right on me, never moved.

    I'm going to have to agree with Adam on that one. It obviously sounds like you really like your snake. Why would you risk losing another snake if it had happened to you once before?

    True, but you have a way of saying PLENTY using the least amount of letters possible.

    That's just cause I'm lazy AND I want to get my phone number out of Smulkins phones "recent calls" list.
