I talk with my animals all the time, I walk in the room, the carpet python wakes up and starts looking around, i tell her to "go back to bed" and she usually does. the bearded start going crazy and I tell them, "no your not getting food, calm down" but they don't listen also might do some head bobs back at the males that bob at me.

then sometimes ill open the cages of snakes trying to get out and talk to them, or when I watch tv with them, that when the conversations start. the bigger snakes will sometimes talk back lol.

feeding time I have to talk to the jag "ok pyscho, give me more than half a second to open the cage" or "no you already ate, stop giving me that look"
