I always talk to my animals, and not just my snakes.

Mine all have not only names but nicknames, and I talk to them as much as I do to the rest of my family. Then again, the only one in the family who doesn't do that is my hubby, so maybe HE'S the crazy one! :D

i always talk to my snake!! i have 3 cats and a beardy as well, and i talk to the cats like they are people ahaha. my beardy not so much, hes a lazy bum. i talk to him when i feed him worms or crickets. he gets all excited and runs around his terrarium

I not only talk to them, I SING to them. God help the next person who points out that my snakes can't hear me. I KNOW, AND I DON'T CARE. ;)

Yes i speak to my snake in snake language, Sometimes i find myself flickering my tongue at him :rolleyes:

OMG...I love it!!!!!

Sure thing. :) I talk to all my animals...heck all animals period...all the time. Because they respond to it.
No no...they don't talk back. Yes I have mental disorders but I'm not THAT bad. :P But they respond in other ways.

Talking to your animals (except maybe fish) calms them, helps them to know you, and calms you as well. Animals can learn from being spoken to as well, and not just cats dogs and horses. :)
My snakes, of course, can't hear me per say... but they are soothed by the vibration when I talk while holding them.
My BTS on the other hand recognizes when he's being spoken to and looks over at you. He seems to have learned his name, at least, and loves hearing people talk to him.
And every cat I've ever owned has always responded to my talking. :) Whether they understand is a big debate I won't get into...but they DO know and respond to the voice.

Besides, who doesn't find chatting to their pet a great way to unload after a bad day, or a wonderful way to cheer up when down? :)

I'm constantly talking to my animals. I think its a bit more sane then talking to myself.

Thats how I justify it anyways :rolleye2:

Yes,I talk to my snake every time I handle her,I talk to her as I would to a human beying,and I love her so much...my mom saw me how I treat my snake and she told me that she thinks i love my snake more than my family:))lol...:snake:
