    Re: I think my snake loves me

    Frankly My snakes all know when I walk in the room and poke their heads out. but if I was the size of a mouse I know Lady would eat me.

    Baby on the other hand I thinks feels some conection with me in some level.
    if he dose something he looks at me as if to say "look what I did mom! I fit my self in something smaller than me" or "I just made a poopie, look mom look!!" he looks for efection, almost begging for it. and he very much let me know if he likes something or dislikes it. but then again, we all want to wish our snakes love us and are able to show efection, emotion and anything other than "feed me" or "I will eat you" attitude"

    Mine will often look out when someone apsses by; that's because the heat signal we emit must be pretty darned huge (never saw a rat THAT big!)

    Re: I think my snake loves me

    I don't think that it is the heat signature that gives you away.

    Probably the vibrations from the floor transferring into the enclosure that warn the snake that there is something comming.

    Snakes are far smarter that Sharks. Sharks cannot even discern food from non-food -- they eat everything.

    I'm sure its that and the fact they can probably smell us in the air.

    Re: I think my snake loves me

    Do I think my snakes love me? Well not to put to fine a point on it, no. I do not think either of my snakes recognize me beyond something that handles them once in a while and has gotten to the point where it does not smell like something that will eat or injure them.

    Both Dax (my BP) and Toby (my cornsnake) retreat when they have their heads out and I walk by. Toby, in particular, does not recognize us as much yet, but we have had him for just about a month now.
    My snakes don't mind being handled and will happily investigate calmy anyone who does so, but I think if they had a choice, they wouldn't ever leave their vivs.
