Even with washing your hands thoroughly, if someone smokes, one hand will smell differently. And I don't have nearly the sensitive sense of smell that snakes have, and I can tell a difference.

Nyoka also decided that she didn't like her hide on the cool side of her tank and so was just laying out in the open instead of in the hide. (She still uses the hide on the warm side.) So I removed it. It was a different style than the one on her warm side, so I think this weekend I'll pick up one that's the same.

She's a great feeder, and regular on all her bodily functions, so having a few personality quirks is fine by me.

(She will go in the hide from the warm side if I move it to the cool side. So I don't think it's more than her prefering that type of hide.)
