Not sure if they are ticklish or not but if you annoy them you can be bitten lol.:P

my snake does that to.When i run my finger down his belly his muscles move like a wave.

Isn't the male snake suppose to "tickle" the female with his tongue when they mate? I suppose they are ticklish.

i noticed that when i run my finger along his sides, right where teh blush is, he wiggles more than teh normal

No, they are not "ticklish".

Well, if you look at the definition of "tickle"

http://www.answers.com/topic/tickling

The only part of the definition of "tickle" that would apply would be the "twitching movements" ... and those (in terms of snakes) are really nothing more than a reflex reaction to an external stimuli.
