Just curious what people do with their snakes, or let their snakes do out of their enclosure.

Also, do you think that snakes can tell people apart?

Interesting question. I don't believe that they are capable of something as complicated as "having fun." That would be applying human tendencies and behavior towards an animal.

As far as them being able to tell people apart, I believe that they can to a certain degree. I have no factual data or scientific evidence to back it up of course.

lol @ Adam :rofl:
i have pics :D

I agree 100% ... I have some snakes that will hiss and strike at me and only me ... and others that get shy around strangers ... they're not capable of processing "hey that's adam" or "hey, that's the person that owns me" ... but they can differentiate between smells and sounds/vibrations that they do and don't recognize.

I know what they definately recognize is dinner is being served. Some of my BP's wake from the dead when rats are going into other tubs. And you open theirs and they poping out striking! I learned to feed them first. Unless I wanna play chicken! :eek:

Certainly ... It's a very pavlovian response ... that's why I always suggest that people follow the same routine for feeding day ... do it on the same day every week, make the same sounds, set your rats in the same place within the room, etc .... before you know it, your snakes will be conditioned to know when feeding day is and what it sounds/smells like ... they'll be awake and ready with digestive juice flowing before you even get the first rat out of the container! :sweeet:

Well...I think being left alone would probably be Kisasa's number one thing to call "fun." :P Except on feeding day....don't skip her on that day! LOL

But when I have her out...she seems intent on exploring the crevices of the sofa, or the cluttered surface of my desk...anyplace she can get to to cause trouble. ;)

Seriously though...she really does seem content to just be left alone.

Nice use of the word Pavlovian! Don't here that every day but that's what it is, a trained response.
