    I know I shouldn't anthropomorphize my BP...
    ....but I just can't help but think my little gal is thinking "Mommy!! I missed you so much today!!" when she rushes to crawl up my arm and onto my shoulders, after opening her cage. :rolleyes: Anybody else have these moments that just make your heart melt...even when they're really thinking nothing like that? :P

    Yes.
    Lol like when they look at you after eating and it feels like they're thanking you.

    hah! I feed my girl in a separate box, so I always take that look as "I'm done, can I go home now?"

    Especially when they lift their heads up as they're swallowing the tail. Like "look mom I'm all done!"

    I get a lot of "PLEASE take me out now, I want attention!!!"

    Lol whenever I came home after work my snake was ALWAYS waiting for me. :) So cute. He would have his face pressed up on the glass, I got a video of it but not on this computer :( But either way, I totally know how you feel. Salem loves behind out, and Shilo just loves falling asleep on me. He's always active in his cage, but when I pull him out he kind of just relaxes and falls asleep wrapped around my arm. So cute! I don't think its bad to anthropomorphize your animals, because whether people want to believe us or not they have great personalities :)

    I do the same thing... but it's the opposite, haha. My little guy and I are still getting used to each other; I think he looks at me and says, "Don't you even think about taking me out of my warm cave lady!" Which is better than the language I'm sure he used in the beginning!

    Regiusloki, mine did the same thing for the first 2 months or so but the difference already is night and day. When I open his cage he "runs"....but doesn't hide any more.

    He's 7 or 8 months old and was out exploring my living room (supervised of course) the other day. He was determined to get into my girlfriends purse (which I'm sure smelled like mice because she works at a lab full of them!) and after picking him up and pulling him away from it a few times, I swear he turned and gave me the "Dude, there's food over there" look....and just kept trying. I eventually just let him climb in hoping he didn't poo.

    Sometimes I can't help but think they DO have some things in common with humans (emotionally at least). My girl likes to stretch up on her doors and wave her body back and forth like windshield wipers. She'll keep switching doors until somebody takes her out. Or feeds her. :rofl:

    I know, I do the same thing. I am sure that our first snake absolutely loves me! He is so docile and sweet. He is never afraid of anything and as soon as I open his enclosure he climbs right up my arm, he really seems to like just hanging out with me..

    My little girl has a different personality though, she is feisty! But once she deigns to allow me to pick her up she relaxes and explores.
