my 'rents have definitely heard me talking to my snakes. they think i'm really weird but...eh.
if we're being honest here: i have a song i sing when i'm doing Yellow enclosure maintenance or sometimes when handling:

"yellooow belly
--yellowbelly,
he's so sweet,
and he haaas a belly,
Yellow-Belly!!!"

i can't believe i just told all of you. i promise i'm only a little weird. that one definitely has my parents questioning my mental health.

I used to sweet talk the snakes when I worked at petsmart.
I'd be cleaning out there cages like:
Me: "Hello! Who's a cute snek, youwre a cute snek, yes you are!"
Coworker: "Will you stop that already!!!!"

I may have done it in front of a customer once.

I often call them ma'am and sir when I'm talking to them, especially when they're doing something they aren't supposed to do, like trying to get inside the couch. Then again I do that with most animals ^_^

Things like "No ma'am, where do you think you're going? You can't get in the couch, you'll get stuck."

That's especially true for Circe, as she's the most adventurous.

As Kevin tries to go hide in my fiance's boobs "Hey get out of there, those are mine"

I sang Eclair a serenade about how pretty she is while cleaning her tub once (couldn't be helped, SHE'S JUST SO PRETTY)

Strudel I call big mamma even though she's not actually a mamma yet. She's just pushing 1700g and might possibly be close to 2000g by the time I pair her this fall, so she's a decently hefty girl! So when I talk to her it's usually is a soft, syrupy voice, going, "Heeeey big mamma, how ya doin'."

Riddle. Riddle thinks he's a boa, apparently. I tell him he's a greedy little piggy all the time. Last week I tried offering a rat wean to Latula, who's currently on mice, but she wasn't quite sure that it was food, so in spite of initial interest, she declined. Well, everyone had already just eaten, but only Riddle was still in feed mode, slowly cruising his tub and tongue flicking. He got the wean. Two days later, after eating a small adult AND a wean, he's sitting there in the waiting pose, and as soon as he sees me he slithers toward the front of the tub and takes up a holding position. This was also the middle of the day, about 4 in the evening with the sun still up and shining bright. I went on a tirade about how he's not a snake, he's a legless pig, and no, he's not getting fed until next week, he's only ever fed once a week, he should be sleeping and digesting the extra large meal he already got, why does he think I'll drop another rat if he looks extra cute at me? Riddle just kept right on looking at me, tongue flicking and tracking my movement around the room, juuuuuust in case I changed my mind.

I may or may not have been caught using baby-talk with my reticulated python at the vet's office...

Hey, that's not the rat!

Better one....

Cleaning tubs in the morning BEFORE getting dressed.....

Hey! Hey! Hey! That is not a rat!

Every day to my huge albino girl who refuses to get pregnant.

You dirty bad girl, you have been with every boy in the room. All you do is eat, poop and mate. Still no frigging eggs. You better get with the program because you are big enough to be a pair of boots.

PG rated version ^^^

Does anybody else here talk to your snake and then respond as them? :rolleye2:

Kevin likes to climb along his fake bamboo stick and just chill or look out of the cage. I ask him why he thinks he's a tree snake. I respond to myself "What you mean 'think' daddy? I is tree snek" or "Mind your bidness daddy, jus doin a peeker"
