Python therapy?
Does any one else find taking care of BP's relaxing? I know I do, I'll come home from work have dinner with my wife and kids. Then I can go to my "man cave" and change out waters, spot clean, and handle my animals. When I'm done I feel completely refreshed. I know to the average non reptile keeping person cleaning poop and pee doesn't sound therapeutic. But some of you must feel the same way right?

I do! I can get stressed out because of work or whatever and when I am around my snakes they reduce my stress too! Maybe because they are mostly calm and laid back too? Whatever it is I know what you mean.

Re: Python therapy?
Taking care of my snakes is most defitnitely therapy for me. I have severe anxiety issues and my snakes totally help with this. I love when it comes time to handle them. I find that to be the most relaxing part of keeping snakes.

An average day for me moves along pretty fast, even when I don't want it to. Taking care of and hanging out with a BP or two forces me to slow down a little, which in turn helps me relax.

Re: Python therapy?
I find it very theraputic to the point I asked my tax guy if I could use it as a dudection he said no but I figured it was worth a try. I find taking care of the snakes very relaxing even when they dont eat. But I also enjoy making enclosures and equipment just as relaxing as the snakes themselves

I could be having the worst day ever but when I get home and get to clean tubs, change water, feed, or just handle my bp's, it all goes away and I am in my little relaxing world lol. Definitely therapeutic
