Lately my BP has been exhibiting a really strong feeding response througout the week. As soon as he sees me enter the room he comes out of his hide and gets into position for a feed. If I leave the room for more than 10 or 15 minutes, he goes back to his hide.

Today he was doing that again as I went about my business cleaning his neighbors (fish) tank. I started to wonder if he recognized me in particular as the food-bringer, or whether he just saw this big warm person-thing and responded to that as a general food-bringer.
So, I performed an experiment.
I waited until he was in his hide again, and had my husband go into the room and look into the enclosure. My husband NEVER feeds the snake and has very little interaction with him.

The result? *snif* I am just another big warm blob to my beloved snake *snif*
He responded to my husband exactly as he responded to me. It was a pretty interesting little test. He doesn't differentiate between people. Now this test did not involve opening his enclosure at all, so I am not proposing that he would not be able to tell the difference between people that he could smell and taste really clearly. I am saying that visually, he doesn't know the difference between people.

Anyway, I'll stop blabbering, here are some pics.
Augie comes out looking for food:


But he feels safe since his tail is still securely tucked inside a hide!


Hey Sistah, can you spare a mouse or two?


Gimme some tongue:
