Funny Things We Say To Our Snakes

I thought it would be fun to share some of the funny things we say to our beloved snakes when we're talking to them... As many of us, i'm sure, I always use my "snake voice" and say things with as many S's as I can when i'm talking to my snakes... lol I'll share a couple of the ridiculous things I say to get us started...

Today, when I pulled my Sumatran girl - Samantha out to check on her and hold her for a bit I asked her, "Isss everything jussst sssooo for you today, Mssss. Sssamantha?"

Often, when I have my 2 year old male Boa (Normal BCI Aberrant) - Simon out, my daughter will be holding my little 2017 Boa (Ghost Het Moonglow) girl - Priscilla at the same time across the room. Simon, being very active, attentive and alert always seems to be on the lookout and checking out everything in the room while i'm holding him. In "Simon's voice" I will say, "Are there any sssnakesss available that I can have sssnake sssexxx with?" Eventually, my daughter and Priscilla will always catch his eye and he will stretch clear out, reaching towards them and I will say, "How 'bout that one over there, Methyusss?", "She ssseemss to be the proper ssspeciesss..." Of course, then I always have to explain to him that he will most likely never have an opportunity to have sssexxx with that one, because ssshe'sss a ssspecial princesss... lol

Ridiculousssnesss... :P

When I see boople out my voice goes higher and I greet her with "hi boople, hi! How is my gorgeous girl? Oh you're so pretty, boop."

I don’t know why but when I talk about or for my snakes I do this weird accent and talk in short sentences lol like if they jerk away or get scared talk for them like “Noz! No touch!” Or if they are looking around and exploring they are splorin. As for how I talk to them it’s mostly just a baby voice lol

Speaking of accents, my newest thing is trying talk to my Womas - Sheila and Steve-O in my "snake voice" with all of the S's, while using an Australian accent... lol That one is pretty tricky! lol

I don't talk to my snakes often but I laugh at them all the time - usually when one one almost gets me. It's not a taunting thing either. There's just something about a snake zooming towards me, trying to eat the hand that feeds it, that gives me a good old belly laugh.

I just talk in a quiet baby voice, like I would at kittens or something. Usually "hello girly!" or "hello big poopy." at my dumeril's boa :D

If my scrub python or GTP zooms toward my hand/the door or strikes at me, it seems I usually go "you an angry hunger!", "snappity!!" or something along those lines LOL

Same omg, I also react with "ohh no touch!" if they jerk away or are startled! In an affected squeaky voice haha

If I talk to them its usually in a normal voice and its because they are doing something stupid or annoying and includes lots of swearing.

+1. I never talk to them, but laugh at them quite often when they do zany stuff like steal their neighbors dinner, rip dead thawed rats in half on accident, climb up walls, escape their tubs, try to scare me in strike position, the usual snek hooligans.

To our ball pythons I say, "Eat your meat Tina!".
To our womas I say, "Hey! That's my hand, not food!"
Pretty much sums up every conversation with them. Definitely one way and they never listen.

I go with a crocodile hunter accent. "Oi ere we have a large female ball python with a lesser platinum colour morph. She looks like an ungry one, let's see how she reacts to a rat"

Somewhere along the line, my husband and I started using this higher pitched, goofy sounding voice as our two dogs' inner monologue. Our GSD has picked up on it and always does his head tilt when we talk like this (because he knows it's about him)... which is adorable and just encourages us to do it more lol. Annnnnd now I find myself using that same voice for all the animals in the house, and giving them their own internal thoughts and monologues.

We live in an interesting household lol

I tell the garters that they're good babies and then I correct myself because they're being little brats. Then I tell them that they're not good babies but at least they're cute babies. *Someone* likes to bite my finger when he's particularly hungry. The ball python is a good baby and never needs that corrected.

I tend to humanize all my pets. I found myself saying to my boa "did you poop your pants" when I realized he had messed in his cage. I had to laugh at myself. "Pants" really!!!

:):):)

I often greet the room with “Hello, boys and girls”. When I have a snake out I usually ask some variant of “And just where do you think you’re going?” and then answer “I’m ‘splorin! Am big brave snek!” especially if they’re little ones. :) When I’m talking to them about the dogs, the dogs are hairy monsters, as in “you don’t want to go that way, there’s a hairy monster over there”, or “it’s ok, hairy monster’s sleepin’”. Feeders are often “mousies”, “meeses”, “ratses”, or just plain “foods”. Something about snakes brings out the LOL-speak. :)

Hahah this is all so funny!! Lmao.

I've began to call Dewey "booboo", and when I see him doing something silly my voice instantly gets really high pitched and goes "aww hiiii booboo!! What are you doing, huh/bubbuh/cutie?".

I also tend to do the "give them their own monologue" thing except Dewey's is apparently REEEALLY derpy, haha. Stuff like "suh kyoot", "nuh", "Wut chu lookin' et?" Etc. lollll.

Amazing how weirdly I talk to my snake within the first two days... Hahaha

Usually if I talk to snakes it's to my bull to tell hi. To stop being cranky about nothing.:D:D Proof snakes have no external ears!

I just talk normally to my snakes - but - my husband and I get called by local LE or animal control because they don't deal with removing the local wild snakes from people's garages, and we do it free. I usually talk baby talk to those snakes, especially the baby black rat snakes. "Well aren't you a cute little danger noodle!" So now dozens of people in my county think I'm weird. :D

So, yesterday I was hanging out with my snakes and I had one of my Boas - Simon out... I had left his tub pulled out while I was holding him and he stretched his body way out trying to reach his tub as he will often do. So, when I was ready to put him away I let him stretch way out and crawl back into his tub, as I said to him, "are you done visssiting now, Sssimon?" and I replied in "Simon's voice", "I sssee a water sssource". Then as he slithers past his water dish, "But, perhapsss I will have a sssip after my sssiesta"...

Yeah... I think I might have sssnake isssues... lol

Yup me too. Like last week when I did a full tub clean/wash. That night she took a huge dump in the freshly cleaned tub. I wasn't impressed.
