Good choice. Not that the snake will hurt him through constriction, but through panic and a resulting bite. A bite by any snake to the eye could be horrible. I keep all snakes away from my face, no matter how "tame" they are. There are plenty of people bitten on the face that wished they had followed this advice.

I have the opposite problem with my balls. When I put them around my neck they sort of relax and let themselves fall =\ I always caught them of course but they either ain't afraid of falling or have completely trust in me lol.

It's weird with Mario. He has never shown aggression. For whatever reason my son thinks it cool to have him around his neck. As soon as he gets the chance the snake wraps around and digs in. Don't know if that makes sense to anyone. He isn't u shaped he his trying to get a full lock around my kids neck. He is super tame like I said but I don't want my son to freak out and hurt the snake or vice versa. I don't allow the snake near his face. Although jack (my son) always wants him to hang out there. Maybe I should try to let the snake coil around my neck and see how far it goes. Like I said, I have a lock on Mario's cage that only I have the key to. If jack wants to get Mario out he needs me to open the cage and I never leave them unsupervised so I'm not really worried about my son being hurt. Just curious why the neck is so attracted to coil. He doesn't do it around arms the same way.

Because he is high up, with out anything to secure himself. And younger snakes don't usually have the length to get all the way around something and hang on good. So they squeeze onto what they can, for grip. I really don't think he is trying to constrict your sons neck. Like someone else said, they don't have arms to hang on with. Really, highly doubt he is trying to "constrict".

It could possibly be because your neck is one of the warmest parts of your body and he's trying to get close to the heat.

I thought about the warmth and security too. Like I said I'm not too worried. I don't think the name thinks he can kill a 50 lb six year old, lol.
