Do you DREAM about snakes?

I wasn't sure where to put this... I thought here would be the best place :D:D:D
Do any of you have dreams about snakes? I keep having really vivid ones where I'm breeding snakes and they come out the eggs strangely... Yesterday I dreamed about breeding Mars Bar and Wanda and some of the babies were pastels and some were corn snakes! I can't be the only one to have these weird dreams... right?? Another time I had a dream where a childhood friend of mine who lived down the road from my parent's house (Long since moved away) let me keep hundreds of snakes in her attic, but I had to move them from my parent's to hers and I had no way so I had to carry them in my mouth... THAT was a strange dream!

Any other weird (or wonderful!) dreams involving snakes??

I had a dream where me and my sister had Ball Pythons(I had a Piebald and My sister had a Banana Pinstripe, despite me only having a normal at this point) and we were going around Chicago with them in our hands, and we started fighting over them for some reason, and our dad stepped in and he started fighting over the snakes too. It was very weird [emoji23]

I had a dream where my ball python birthed ,like, 15 stranger littles snakes snd she wasn’t there but i thought that was normal. i found out about the babies by looking through the substrate for poop and on the glass floor is where they were. They were like one color milk snake and idk it was an odd dream

all the time - not just snakes either (lots of work-related dreams). Recently been dreaming a lot about having random pieds (probably because I really want one). A few nights ago I had a dream that I was at a restaurant and had ordered pasta, but was instead brought a pied on a plate and I was very mad at the restaurant and took him home without paying my bill...

another one where I bought and adult female that was a failed breeder (also a pied). A few weeks later she laid a crap-ton of eggs (enough to fill a milk jug - for some reason that was what I was incubating them in) and I was guilty and called the breeder since he'd been trying so hard to get a clutch from her. He wanted her and the clutch back, but promised I could have pick of the litter free of charge, no matter what the combo was. I maintained that I just wanted any female regular pied - the breeder agreed but I actually woke up angry that he wanted the female back.

Frequently.
Non-snake keepers tend to apply psychoanalysis to that, but sometimes a snake is just a snake.

before i owned any snakes (like 2 years ago), i dreamed that i kept a big Anaconda underneath my bed. i would just chill there lol.

last week i dreamed that during feed night, my G-Stripe combo girl refused her meal. instead she kept biting herself in the tummy and eventually chewed herself in half! i woke up in a panic and went to go check on her. her cute, derpy lil face looked at me clueless to the nightmare i just had.

I haven't had dreams about my boy, but when I was thinking about getting a snake I'd have weird stress dreams about messing up with their care. I had dreams that I'd get them without getting their proper enclosure, starve them for weeks, etc. I had one dream where I had to return a snake because of its extreme aggression, and I bundled it up in a large plastic bag.

I've had a dream where I was watching a much larger collection than I have (I have 10 snakes and in the dream it was maybe 60) and they were all trying to escape at the same time and my husband and I were desperately trying to grab them as they slithered away lol.

I've only had my bp for about a month or so now, but I've had dreams where he was stuck in his tank decor log (I've since taken this out of his tank just because I couldn't handle being stressed about that all the time.) I also had a dream that I received two baby bp's in the mail that I had apparently forgotten I'd ordered. I wasn't expecting them, they were so young, and I didn't have any enclosure ready for them, so I was frantically trying to find a Tupperware in the kitchen that would be appropriate for holding them for the time being. I was so upset in the dream that I actually woke myself up to stop dreaming about it. Dreams can be weird, but they can tell you about real-life stresses sometimes. I've been worried about messing up my husbandry since I first got my little guy.

I have had dreams about snakes. But it's not common. Most of the dreams I can remember are super weird.

The last one I remember was that I kept walking into walking into snake rooms that I don't have but my dream mind told me "Oh yeah I do have these. How could I have forgotten I had these?! I haven't been here is months! How are they all still alive!"

No. Unless the Basilisk in one of the Harry Potter movies counts! lol

All the time. I've had dreams where my little noodle was starving and trying to eat things she shouldn't. I've also had dreams where I have several snakes but not enough enclosures. I also had one where she laid a bunch of eggs, some of which hatched into bearded dragons or leopard geckos. Leopard geckos usually show up in my snake dreams, I don't know why, I've never owned one.

oh my gosh elleon! Snake stress dreams are too real!! I had a similar recurring nightmares when I first got my baby noodle-- one in particular where my thermostat stopped working and my beep got severely burned. I was so upset I woke myself up and monitored her cage temps (that were totally fine) when I was realized going back to sleep wasn't in the cards. I was also worried about messing up my husbandry at first, and was reading cautionary tales (some horror stories :tears:) and husbandry info a bit too close to bedtime... caused some wild nightmares!

I have a cold right now, so my dreams are stranger than usual lol. Yesterday I took a nap and during that nap I had my first dream about ball pythons.
In this dream, I met a lady who had two daughters and couldn't afford to care for her collection of baby ball pythons any longer. She was carrying the hatchlings in the pockets of her hoodie/pants. I knew that I couldn't care for the collection either, but I could just let the babies be homeless! So basically I just spent the whole dream just sitting there in indecision until I woke up 😂

I dream about snakes pretty regularly, it's kinda weird.

Its almost always something about finding or losing a snake though. Usually I have dreams where I'll be outside in my back yard (or somewhere else, setting changes) gathering ball pythons that are slithering all over the lawn and panicking because I don't have enough places to put them all lmao, I end up with an armful of snakes and a bunch draped over me and some of them falling off and its just super strange.

I usually have nightmares about my snakes escaping or dying because my brain likes to torture me. But sometimes I dream about mundane stuff like cleaning, breeding, and getting new enclosures. If I put a lot of thought into doing anything with my snakes I usually end up dreaming about it.

Once in awhile I dream about getting more snakes, but then I wake up and I'm relieved there are no new additions.

One time I accidentally had a litter of rat pups born in my house, when my male ball python went into "mating season mode" and refused meals for 7 weeks. It started to stress me out, having to take care of the rats. I started to have anxiety dreams about rat problems!

Real event, not a dream: Around this time, it was too was stressful for me and I seriously considered selling my snake. Then he finally went into a frenzy one day, when I put him next to the entire rat box. He killed two of them simultaneously, coiling one and while still constricting it, he stuck and constricted another one! It was amazing, constricting two live animals simultaneously! tHat got me motivated and I killed all the rats and put them in the freezer.

Now, I love snakes again and have 4 more. I have switched to frozen/thawed. It is more difficult to get the snakes to take the pre-killed animals, but I don't have to deal with keeping refused rats any more.

This isn't a dream, it all really happened, but point is that nightmares about feeding my ball python helped me make decisions!
I hope I have some more dreams about snakes, now that I have a collection I am obsessed with.
