Can snakes sense pain ?

Sense you have pain? I think that's a serious reach.

Ha, suppose I shouldn't complain.. He's comfortable and keeping me held together :P, also gives a great massage :D!

I can only imagine how could it would feel if hes coiling and squeezing, when i had a sore ankle my girl was cruzing and wrapped it, and man it did feel quit nice

if there is a mechanism behind it, its probarbly the warmth.

im sure snakes can feel pain, when its in their own body. but telepathic remote pain-sensing? no, thats really a reach.

Even if it's not the case I suppose it can't hurt to let her think this lol :).

I would say if it makes her feel better it wouldn't really hurt to let her think that. That being said if you do that and she likes to tell others that "fact" that could be bad because it could just be spreading around something that possibly isn't true. That's one way misinformation starts to spread as a fact.
