Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC
Feliz weighed in dry today at 740G. He's growing nicely.
I watched a few episodes of Brian's Boas where he showed off some of his Venezuelan Dwarf BC's. The lighting in his videos isn't great, but the content is and it was cool to see some other dwarf BC's about Feliz's age.

Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC
He looks great. It's interesting you brought up the whole snakes knowing the difference with you shaking because of meds and someone shaking out of fear. My python when he is being held by someone who is nervous and shakes a little will generally grip harder and curl up, but when I hold him I can be walking around and he will be trying to climb up face. Not nervous at all. I don't know if this is true but it is almost like they can recognize a person (maybe by scent) and they learn to trust that you won't let them fall no matter what they do.

Thank you. He's a dapper young fellow.
I do think snakes (can) recognize one person over another by scent, etc. but more often than not feel secure when they are properly supported. People used to snakes and their own individual snakes tend to do a better job supporting them and making them feel safe.
Feliz, for example, is just as chill with my mom, my niece, etc. holding him as when I do because they know how to properly support him and make him feel safe and like he's not going to fall.
I think snakes are pretty simple creatures. Feliz might be more "used" to me and recognize my scent even, but he doesn't feel less "safe" when someone else is properly supporting him/holding him.

That's true.
It could be one or the other or a combo of both and the individual personalities of the reptiles make it really hard to nail it down completely.

Our snakes know us primarily by scent & touch, just as they know each other that way too. I don't think they care so much if we're shaking: I've been in some pretty big earthquakes & happened to be holding one right at the moment one hit, & he paid NO attention at all, lol- he still felt completely safe with me. But it's HOW we hold them, partly how supportive we are, but also by our grip- they don't like being held too tight & that's a very common mistake that people make. The "right touch" goes a long way whether it's a snake or a date, lol.

These guys have a great yellowish tone and that one displays it well. Good body shape on that boa.
