Crowley progression thread

[Valyndris]

I finally got it on camera! I got Crowley giving me a hug on camera! He does it often but I just now finally got it on video. He'll go on my nose and stay there for a while like he's giving me a hug. To me this is my ball python being affectionate towards me, we can't know for sure what he's thinking nor can I confirm it's a sign of love/affection but regardless it makes my heart melt every time. He does it at least once a month.

I remember back when the basement apartment I lived in flooded and I had to relocate Crowley to my parents place for a month till I found a new place. I rarely got to see him during that time but would go over as often as possible to clean up after him and feed him, I never had much time to take him out and handle him as my parents went to bed shortly after he'd get up. Once we moved to a new apartment and got Crowley moved in with us, that night he went on my nose just like in the video and he held that position for at least 5 minutes. It was like he was so happy to be back together with his family. I cried with joy that night as I was reunited with my baby, was out of that dank basement and Crowley gave me a nice long hug.

I very rarely show my face on the internet but I found it worth it this time to show that (to me) snakes can be affectionate. You may choose to believe it or not but to me it is Crowley giving me a hug. He is different than most snakes as I give this little guy tons of attention compared to the average snake gets from a human. He is usually out with me for an average of 3 hours a night and at least an hour of that time he is around my neck or in his hide right beside me on the couch when I watch TV after he's done his missions in his room.



Here is a picture also:

Aw, he wuvs you. Though unless he learns to talk, we'll never be sure if he's "hugging you" or just enjoying your warm breath on his throat? ....

(I also posted this picture in the most recent snake picture thread to show off my silly comedy) I made a noodle soup, no worries, the noodles were cooled down and I gave Crowley a bath right after. He actually seemed to enjoy his time in the soup as it was squishy comfy noodles. I was expecting him to slither right out of the pan but he stayed there like a good snake and let me take cute pictures. I did this as I decided I wanted to do themed photos of my pets for each room. Bath/shower time pics for the bathroom and my pets being the meal for the kitchen. It makes for cute funny photos and I find it better than just having regular pet pictures everywhere.

But did you eat the noodles?

Sent using mental telepathy.

That was 50 cents worth of ramen noodles, of course I ate them! It was delicious with the hint of snake oil in it.

Oh my gosh haha! Now Crowley is just making me crave some instant ramen.

So last night Crowley came out at his usual time at around 8:40 and was in full missions mode, he did 3 hours in his room and 1 hour on the couch, he wanted more but I don't let him stay out longer than 4 hours due to the lack of humidity and heat out of his enclosure. Today Crowley came out really early, his light shuts off at 6:50 and he was out by 7:15. I expected him to really be full missions mode today as he was out so early and looked excited to start his missions early... 25 minutes later he already went in his hide at 7:40 (7 minutes ago). I'm glad to say I put a small heat pad under there so that he doesn't come out cold anymore but comes out just right, his hide in his old tank in the room is now at 83ish degrees. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that little brain of his, wanting to come out early just to go nap in his hide in the room. It's almost like he prefers it in his room because the door of his enclosure in here always stays open. He has the same hide in his main enclosure at the same temperature. Maybe he prefers it in his room because I sit at the computer right beside him, who knows. I just found it so cute that he came out early to go in his hide and had to share.

Crowley the king of dragons
Sequel to Game of Thrones spoiler: Drogon left to go find a new master. He has found him, King Crowley the giant serpent. He is loyal to his King as Crowley granted Drogon one wish. His wish was to resurrect his fallen brothers back to the living. Now Crowley and the dragon trio are out to conquer the whole world.

So I got Crowley a size 7 crown ring and it fits perfect on his little head. I present to you King Crowley the royal python.

Crowley being affectionate towards me. I love him so very much and this made my heart melt. I was in awe about this for days. I am putting this video in it's own thread as I feel like it needs to be seen.
