    [IMG]Hilroy48 Hilroy48 is offline Registered User Join Date 10-06-2021 Posts 12 Thanks 0 Thanked 19 Times in 6 Posts I have 8 different snakes. I have 2 ball pythons. My 4 year old took about 6 months to trust me, now he is no longer head shy and will lay on the bed with me, move around and come back to me. My 9 month old is very calm and relaxed, i got him at 2 months old. Both pythons lay on my chest at first, while i run my fingers all over them. In about 5 min they are now ready to explore. All of my snakes trust me, and hang on my shoulder, or around my neck or they crawl inside my hoodie. I have a job where i work from home for the last 15 years, so my snakes get handled every day.[/IMG]

    If that works for you it’s one thing. Your reptiles are not living a natural life being handled every day. Not being critical of you but just advocating for the captive reptiles who deserve to be in a more simulated natural environment. It’s very unnatural for them to be held and exposed on a daily basis. Doing so is more of a anthropomorphic behavior on the human side.
