How many of you...

...talk to your snakes? We all know snakes don't "hear" in the traditional sense of the word. But how many of you talk to your snake as if he could hear and understand? LOL I'm always talking to Caesar when I'm handling him...praising him for being such a good boy...or admonishing him not to go into someplace he shouldn't (like up my sleave or off the edge of the table!). Am I the only crazy one???

Ha! No you arent the only crazy one here. I ALWAYS talk to my boys. I treat them like I do the dog or cat, kid or boyfriend. ;) I am always telling them how cute they are, what good boys they are, how much I love them.....I ask them if the are hungry, too hot/too cold, if they wanna come out and play....shall I go on? *giggle*

WHEW! So glad to hear it!

Aren't we silly???

LOL ... there's a couple of men in white coats right behind you, Judy! Better run!

Ummm, not that it's something I'd have thought to bring up, but yeah, I talk to the snakes. I tell them how good they look and ask them where they think they're going and such. :lol:

yea i talk to my snake

Hee hee ... what do they say? If they tell you to do things to the neighbors, I think we may have a problem! I'm pretty sure I've heard Snyder say "scat!" to Dobby once or twice, tho. ;)

If I see a bug inside that doesn't belong inside (it's not a spider -- them I leave alone because they eat other bugs), I either put it out or call my kid to kill it. The 11-year-old is the official "big bad bug" exterminator. :lol:

About the only thing that can summarized from this thread is that women are crazy. :D

S'ok, that's why we like em! :wink:

I resemble that remark!

me tooooooo!!! :P

HAHA! I'm glad I posted this....you guys crack me up!!! (Of course...I'm easily amused.......LOL)

:shock: :lol:

I totally talk baby talk to my snake. That's actually why my boyfriend makes fun of me for it. Otherwise it might be at least kind of normal. You think? :lol:

Man do I feel a whole lot better! I thought I was the crazy one talking to Ozzy and calling him my "big boy" which by the way my 13yo son fell offense to by saying he was my big boy :)
I talk to him just like I do my cat or dogs, tell him he is my big boy and that he is so cute and that I love him and want him to grow big and strong :)
My son always tells me he doesnt know what I am saying and laughs at me.
But when I open the cage to get him I start talking just like he was a baby
( which he is!:)
Well I can cancel that appt to the therapist now, Thanks!

Hey man spiders in your house are good luck . . and good health.

Ok, well, I'll admit to talking to my critters. I don't do the baby talk thing, though. I try to use logic with my animals. "Now George, you know I have never hurt you, you don't need to get scared when I touch your head!" or "Noobie, you need to hurry up and finish that shed, I have the perfect HUGE rat just waiting for you!"

So, since I try and reason with my snakes, does that make me crazier than the rest of you? :oops:

LOL...I do the same thing, Randy! But then again...we've already established that I have a long-standing relationship with the men in white coats!

I talk to all my animals. Baby talk is usually reserved for my maltese puppy, though. Although I haven't actually heard them talk back, they often look at me like I'm totally out of my mind. They may be right.

LOL, I don't really baby talk my snakes either, or much of anything but puppies and kittens if that. I do, however, attempt to give them instructions. "Hold still, Seymour, so she only has to poke the needle in once," "Snyder, don't go in her sleeve -- you know your scales will get caught coming back out," "Hanover, you need to stop hissing." I also talk to them about themselves, "You had a great shed, Hanover, are you hungry?" and about nearby objects, "Why are you so fascinated with Jessica's hair?" or "You don't want to sniff the kitty, trust me."

I guess if Randy's crazy, there's no need to ask if I am. ;)

i havent handled my bp yet. but ive been obsessed with snakes my whole life so i used to catch little garters and ribbons and occasionally a red bellie. i talked to them all the time :) i guarrantee i will talk to my snake.
