They make me smile

Do your BPs make you smile? Mine do. I check on them and just seeing them makes me happy inside. It's so cool to see their reactions and curiosities.

Ahhh ... mah babies.

LOL, yes they do. Especially during hatching season. :banana:

Yep! Especially when they are trying to be stealthy... :rolleyes: It's just CUTE!

Only one in my collection. My male bumblebee "Bee" is unlike all the others. I know it seems silly to become attached to a snake but I just love this guy. I smile everytime I see him.

Oakely actually recently got himself stuck (partially my fault). His humidity was too high and I figured out that the screen top off of a 10 gallon will fit over his tub just right. I didn't think he would try to escape through the hole I had in the screen top so the handle from the class top would go through it. Well I was downstairs and heard Ashtin yelling for me. I walk into my room to see Oakely's fat butt stuck in the hole and looking at his butt like "why won't you fit!" lol. I cut the screen a bit and pulled him out and taped it up so he didn't do it again. It's almost like he wanted to be stuck because he had his tail wrapped around the frame of the bar.

Another situation that made me laugh was last week we fed Oakley before Hissy and I think she knew it...she was cruising her tub looking for her mouse and when she figured out it wasn't in there she knocked over her thermometer and just glared at me like "haha, I win."

Most of them, I do have one girl that I bought in December that tries to bite me everytime she can.

My snakes melt my heart and make me smile all the time.

Sometimes it is random, other times they do that one thing they are good at, but either way.

YES! :)

I have one big adult female named Olive. When I tend to her enclosure she will come out and wrap my wrist so I cannot close the tub back up. By the time I resign myself she is usually sitting there with her head resting on my hand being the cutest of all cute snakes.

Makes me grin each and every time, and each and every time I pull up a chair and take an extra ten minutes to handle her and remind myself why I keep these amazing snakes.

Sometimes even that makes me smile. If someone answers "no" to this poll, I'll have to wonder why they are on this site.

of course they should, if you dont then you shouldnt have them

I was wondering who would say no. All of the fuzzies/slitheries that I live with make me smile.

Anyone else smile when they see their snake hunt down a live mouse then give it a hug until its eyes pop out? I did tonight!

I am a grown man and I find myself baby talking to them......the first years...my wife laughs so hard and reminds me i didnt even baby talk to my son who is now 6 lol....examples...

I don't think you can...it's been mentioned several times over the past few months.

Pssst....Jeff, between me and you, I think a lot of new guys dig through the threads and vote on polls in the hopes that it might get their post numbers up...it won't, and that's why these polls always seem to hang out at the top of the charts. But don't tell any of the new guys I said that, cause they might take it the wrong way.

This girl I'm speaking of, strikes at me through the tub repeatedly. I was holding her and she seamed calm, I lifted her up to see her belly, and felt something slam into my forehead....couldnt even see it coming. I knew she musta bit me......she oesnt really bite, she just strikes like a rattlesnake.

So I looked in the mirror and there were a few bloody holes in my forehead...lol

I will admit I wasn't smiling when one of my mature females, Dori, tried to eat my face off the other day either. I don't know what was bugging her butt but she was NOT interested in making nice nice with me at that moment. Big strikes (I dodge fast for an old broad) and huge hisses. Guess it's breeding season and since I wasn't putting her boyfriend in with her quite yet she was less than impressed with me.
