So, I know it's not like a dog knowing who it's owner was... but I've noticed something with Tali. When I handle her or take her out, she balls up for a moment, then quickly uncoils and starts checking me out and whats going on. The times I've had other people handle her (which honestly, hasn't been many- one of my roommates, my parents, and a couple of friends that stopped by), she stays coiled and 'balled' for much longer. I know they can smell, but I don't know if they can smell AND store the difference from person to person (ie, that's mom, mom=ok, that's not mom=STRANGER DANGER OH DEAR GOD). So maybe it's just a difference in how I handle her? IDK D:

I was just wondering if I was nuts haha. Do your snakes react differently to other people holding them?

(also, whats the guesstimate age for an 18inch, 106gram Ball Python?)
