    I know I shouldn't anthropomorphize my BP...

    ....but I just can't help but think my little gal is thinking "Mommy!! I missed you so much today!!" when she rushes to crawl up my arm and onto my shoulders, after opening her cage. Anybody else have these moments that just make your heart melt...even when they're really thinking nothing like that?

    hah! I feed my girl in a separate box, so I always take that look as "I'm done, can I go home now?"

    Especially when they lift their heads up as they're swallowing the tail. Like "look mom I'm all done!"

    Lol whenever I came home after work my snake was ALWAYS waiting for me. So cute. He would have his face pressed up on the glass, I got a video of it but not on this computer But either way, I totally know how you feel. Salem loves behind out, and Shilo just loves falling asleep on me. He's always active in his cage, but when I pull him out he kind of just relaxes and falls asleep wrapped around my arm. So cute! I don't think its bad to anthropomorphize your animals, because whether people want to believe us or not they have great personalities

    I do the same thing... but it's the opposite, haha. My little guy and I are still getting used to each other; I think he looks at me and says, "Don't you even think about taking me out of my warm cave lady!" Which is better than the language I'm sure he used in the beginning!
