Weird Things You've Said to Your Snake?

so i don't know if it's just me or whatever but i've said some weird stuff to my snake, from "my son is so pretty!" to "YOU ARE SO SOFT I WANNA BOOP YOUR SNOOT"

have you ever had a moment where you just said some awkward/weird things to your snake? i would like to know LOL. :P

THIS JUST IN, literally a minute before I saw your post

Me, at Gem: why are you hungry
my mom: what?
me: I'm asking my green snake why she's hungry

tbh I talk to my snakes a whole bunch, just off-handedly. It's ridiculous LOL.

I'll have full on conversations with pretzel sometimes, LOL.

he has a vet appointment this saturday for his first check-up and I think I'll be sitting there amongst people with their dogs and cats, whispering to my snake "hey, do you think it's cold in here? here, get in my sweatshirt. it's ok. i love you. i'll keep you warm."

me: "Spaghetti!!!"
S: *is snake*
me: "what're you doing? how are you?!"
S: *still snake*
me: "you're getting so big! you're such a good girl."
S: *is still snake*
me: "i love you!!!"

pretty much how it goes.

not a conversation so much as a constant nickname: i call Yellow "Yellowbelly"; he's albino, not a yellowbelly. idk why i call him that i just do, and Spaghetti is "Little Miss".

i love them!!!

I basically talk to my snake like how I talk to my dogs. I will say things like "Who is the sweetest little snake? YOU are!!" haha

I usually just talk off handed, like when I see him climbing about I'll say "what ya doing snoot? you being a snoot?" and the like. However, my fiance laughed at me several months ago because he over heard me threatening him. It went something like this...

"OK - it's day 46 and I'm going to give you this rat. AND you're going to eat this rat, or I'm going to make you into a belt and get my self a nice pied that will eat on schedule..."

he was in the process of his first ever food strike. I will say he struck that rat with vigor after our little talk.

I say stupid sweet crap to everything. I straight up told my snakes "you're gunna be food is the world goes to pot"

Dude. Put that thing away.

This to a male woma attempting to romance the garden hose while out for some garden time. Clearly, ready for a girlfriend.

haha, i do the exact same thing!! i didn't think so many other people talked silly to their snakes/reptiles. it seems like a thing only people do with dogs/cats.

my 'rents have definitely heard me talking to my snakes. they think i'm really weird but...eh.
if we're being honest here: i have a song i sing when i'm doing Yellow enclosure maintenance or sometimes when handling:

"yellooow belly
--yellowbelly,
he's so sweet,
and he haaas a belly,
Yellow-Belly!!!"

i can't believe i just told all of you. i promise i'm only a little weird. that one definitely has my parents questioning my mental health.

I used to sweet talk the snakes when I worked at petsmart.
I'd be cleaning out there cages like:
Me: "Hello! Who's a cute snek, youwre a cute snek, yes you are!"
Coworker: "Will you stop that already!!!!"

I may have done it in front of a customer once.

I often call them ma'am and sir when I'm talking to them, especially when they're doing something they aren't supposed to do, like trying to get inside the couch. Then again I do that with most animals ^_^

Things like "No ma'am, where do you think you're going? You can't get in the couch, you'll get stuck."

That's especially true for Circe, as she's the most adventurous.

As Kevin tries to go hide in my fiance's boobs "Hey get out of there, those are mine"

I sang Eclair a serenade about how pretty she is while cleaning her tub once (couldn't be helped, SHE'S JUST SO PRETTY)

Strudel I call big mamma even though she's not actually a mamma yet. She's just pushing 1700g and might possibly be close to 2000g by the time I pair her this fall, so she's a decently hefty girl! So when I talk to her it's usually is a soft, syrupy voice, going, "Heeeey big mamma, how ya doin'."

Riddle. Riddle thinks he's a boa, apparently. I tell him he's a greedy little piggy all the time. Last week I tried offering a rat wean to Latula, who's currently on mice, but she wasn't quite sure that it was food, so in spite of initial interest, she declined. Well, everyone had already just eaten, but only Riddle was still in feed mode, slowly cruising his tub and tongue flicking. He got the wean. Two days later, after eating a small adult AND a wean, he's sitting there in the waiting pose, and as soon as he sees me he slithers toward the front of the tub and takes up a holding position. This was also the middle of the day, about 4 in the evening with the sun still up and shining bright. I went on a tirade about how he's not a snake, he's a legless pig, and no, he's not getting fed until next week, he's only ever fed once a week, he should be sleeping and digesting the extra large meal he already got, why does he think I'll drop another rat if he looks extra cute at me? Riddle just kept right on looking at me, tongue flicking and tracking my movement around the room, juuuuuust in case I changed my mind.

I may or may not have been caught using baby-talk with my reticulated python at the vet's office...

Hey, that's not the rat!

Better one....

Cleaning tubs in the morning BEFORE getting dressed.....

Hey! Hey! Hey! That is not a rat!

Every day to my huge albino girl who refuses to get pregnant.

You dirty bad girl, you have been with every boy in the room. All you do is eat, poop and mate. Still no frigging eggs. You better get with the program because you are big enough to be a pair of boots.

PG rated version ^^^

Does anybody else here talk to your snake and then respond as them? :rolleye2:

Kevin likes to climb along his fake bamboo stick and just chill or look out of the cage. I ask him why he thinks he's a tree snake. I respond to myself "What you mean 'think' daddy? I is tree snek" or "Mind your bidness daddy, jus doin a peeker"

I usually talk to them the most when they are getting themselves into trouble. In my normal voice, as if talking to another human adult: "Dude, seriously? Why would you want to climb there?" or "What's your malfunction? I raised you to be smarter than this." or the all too common "Come on, I mean, did you really have to get your poop on the glass?" or "I just gave you fresh water, why did you feel the need to poop in it?"

I usually ask them if they're hungry before I feed them too, as if they're gonna say anything: "You hungry buddy? How's a delicious mouse sound?"... as if they have a choice.

Very guilty of holding one sided convos with my girl. Lots of sweet talk and nicknames usually. Unless she is doing something she shouldn't... Also I say mean things in a nice tone so she cant get offended. ;D
"Heyyy gorgeous how are you sweetie? You such a fatty girl yes you are." "What da heck get off of that. No you cant get in there. Stay away from - STOP IT OLYMPIA!!"
I talk to all my reptiles though, the two beardies (Who PURPOSEFULLY ignore me telling them to stop or come here...) the crab and the cat along with the ball (Olympia).
