    Ticklish?

    I've had Snakey (Unnamed still) for a week, and there's like three different spots on his underbelly that if I rub it he'll wiggle a bit differently than the rest of his body.

    So anyone have a definite on if they're ticklish or not? I've looked around a bit and searched, and haven't found any answers that lead me one way or the other.

    Figured I'd just ask!

    It could just feel funny. I don't think they really have a lot of sensation in their underbelly. I think of their scales like our fingernails, you can feel pressure, but not much else. Maybe your snake is just a goober!
