    Handling
    So, I'm aware that ball pythons pretty much just tolerate being handled. But I was wondering, do they enjoy being "pet"? Sort of like dogs do? I've noticed that when I'm handling mine, and I pet his back, he seems to relax a bit, and the tension towards his tail just disappears. Does he actually enjoy this..???

    Whether or not snakes feel "enjoyment", I cannot say, but I know that I can get my snakes to relax by gently rubbing their chin.
