Re: Where is your BP while cleaning?
People that don't have snakes say that! LOL
All our snakes accept handling to different degrees but all are wonderful to have out. The little female albino milksnake is just so brightly colored, she's almost freakishly wierd. It's like someone colored on her with day glo markers LOL. She's a challenge to hold being a colubrid and a very small one at that. Harder for my husband with his big hands to get the right grip pressure to keep her corralled but not squash the lil worm. The big 6 foot BCI is great to have out but he likes to drag household furniture around and hauling him out from the insides of a couch was NOT the most fun activity we've ever engaged in LOL.
The ball pythons are probably the most relaxing snakes to have out. All of them take handling pretty much as a normal part of their week. Our youngest female, Rionach, has developed an ungodly fascination for human orifices. She will not stop sticking her snout in everyone's ears, up your nose and belly buttons are her passion! There is NOTHING in this world that tickles more than Ri's dang flicky tongue. You pull her away and seconds later she's back, determined to see exactly what is in your ear. So far I don't speak enough snake to explain that - no we don't store rodents up our noses in this house LOL
Re: Where is your BP while cleaning?
I've always got at least 3 willing pairs of hands to look after Emily so it's no problem - except when they're arguing as to who has had her the longest :D
