shirt

hey i put my a shirt that i wore to bed and rhen cut in half in my bp's cool hide so he can get used to my scent. is this ok.

um need some advice people

Um, I don't see a problem with it. But I have no idea if it will make him used to your scent.

don't really know

its a method used for this reason. it has been suggested to me numerous times. no problem with it.

So basiclly you put a shirt you wore in your snakes tank. So that when he is in his hide all he can smell is your cheap cologne. I think that is horrible. :-)

um does anyone know or has anyoe but me done this. i am surprised i would of thought maybe a few people do this.

podo man i didn't wear any colone and secondley the shirt is nice and soft and fill up the hide that is a lil too big for him and also man i don't smell bad its just my friggin scent i wore no other smelly condoments on me last night in my sleep.

I know I was just giving you a hard time. If it would make you feel better I will put one of my shirts into my one of my BPs tank.

oh ok my bad lol.

i also have did it

cool i have started a trend man lol

Actually Rex did it before you.

oh i knew that.

um why am i not a leutinant?

what?

(EDIT: like this - cool function)

Many folks have used the shirt thing in the aim of getting a snake "used to your scent" - nothing at all wrong with it - but indeed avoid colognes and other chemically odiferous caca. Is there a reason you are pursuing this in the first place is your BP shy? hissy?

he is very shy when it comes to me coming to get him out of his tank or when i come in the room at night he slithers for it i figure if he knows my scent he will eventually get use to me coming and getting him aout and eventually staying out during night time when i go to sleep.

Because I deleted that out of hand thread and reduced your post count in the process. Quality counts.

omg i just snorted spoup owowowowow

ah haa haa! that's a good one! :rofl:

I've never done that before; I wouldn't think it would be that terribly effective. I used to do that with my sugar gliders, but then again their olfactory systems are very different, and I don't walk around with my snakes in a pouch around my neck. :D

If you handle your snake daily, 10-15 minutes a day.
He'll get used to you.
Personally I see no need for the shirt method.

Speaking of Sugar Gliders I had one take a dump on my arm a while back.

Blink, they take a dump on everything. Being peed on is actually an expression of affection. It's how they scent things, and by scenting you you become "theirs".
When I owned sugars, I had a special sweatshirt designated for when I took them out, and I had to wash it almost daily because of how much I got pooed/peed on.

After he took a dump on me, I never wanted to play with them again lol.

He/She wasn't mine, I was playing around with it at my local herp shop.

Well, it must have loved you then. :D

Heh - I am teh p00 magnet. Especially with our AfRock - I pretty much have to let her swim around the tub and do her business before handling or she'll let me have it every time. Love is strange.

A while ago I was planning to use the shirt method to get my bp to get used to my scent easier. But now that I have her, I see she's easily already warmed up to me in the short few days she's been with me, so I dropped the idea. If she was hissy and shy and stuff, then I might have considered the trick again. But she's a healthy captive bred so I think she'll come around quicker/easier. :)
