Do you "baby talk" to your herps?

I get total grief from my daughter when I talk to Fluffy. I don't know if its the attention or just the proximity of another warm body, but he does seem to like it. I say all sorts of things to my "snakey-wakey". My wife thinks its cute, and my son makes no comments (he really does not want to have anything to do with the snake.) BUT my daughter is relentless with her poking fun at me.

Does anyone else talk to their snakes? Baby-talk?

I don't with my snakes but occasionally do with my geckos lol. Mostly because my 2 year old daughter does it with them. She calls them "Dedoes"

wouldn't that be a "wittle"

i dont baby talk to my snakes , but i do talk to them even though i know they cant hear me . heck , i hold entire one sided conversations with them . i dont think it affects my snakes one way or the other , it does help me keep focused on what i'm doing .

There you go. I think that I'll try that. See if he can give me some ideas how to deal with my boss.

lol i do actually.i dont think my family has heard me...yet...but i do baby talk to them.

I'm not a BP owner yet, but I talk to my Beta, Chloe--so I'm sure that in February when I'm a BP-mommy, I'll talk to him, too. :)

It's sorta like having a baby all over again. I mean I clean up messes, hand feed him, make sure his crib is all right, and he cant talk back or really show much emotion. Little babies just kinda lie there and cry. THANK GOD snakes don't cry!!!!

oh and i also do baby talk to my tarantulas:D

Every now and then I'll talk to my 2 older snakes; my little pastel who is very hissy with an attitude all the time well thats another story...me and him exchange arguments from time to time...he likes to strike and I like to call him a bastard.

I talk to my snakes all the time. My family has taken a vote & determined Im pyschotic! Little do they know but I talk to the dog too muhahaha!:rolleye2:

yeah i baby talk them, especially when they smear crap all over the sides of the tub or knock over their water bowls....but its usually very sarcastic and includes lots of four letter words.

Yes, I do talk to my snakes. :psychotic In fact, I just finished having a lovely one sided conversation with several of them as I cleaned their cages. Some are better to talk to than others. Of course, I will also talk to the car, dishes, or any other thing that needs my brillant opinion.

All the time. I dont love my snakes as much as my real children, but a very close second.

I don't have any kids, so my pets take that role. Not in a creepy cat lady sort of way though. ;)

I talk to them... and I talk especially sweet to them if they're getting treated for something. Sending good vibes their way can't be a bad thing.

I do the same thing when my 2 little ones bite me none stop. I guess there way of talking is by biting and hissing.

The only time I have ever talked to my snakes is when I have been tagged and it was more of a :cens0r: :cens0r: than baby talk.:D

OK, OK, I do. But since they don't have ears... :dizzy: :confuse: :nerd:

Well, not really baby talk, but my girlfriend laughed at me when I waved at Austin as he was "eyeballing" me from his cool hide, and asked if I actually waved at him.

Yup, I baby talk all my critters. Most especially the mammals, Gomez, and Ma-tsu. Can't be helped. :P
