    Well, you can't really compare a dog and a snake. A dog is a social animal that forms a bond with its owner. A snake does not. I don't really think a belly rub would be pleasing to them, if anything it would give the opposite effect.

    A nice warm hide is what they really love

    A snake is not a dog - so no.

    Well, I don't know about Ball Pythons, but it works for more than just dogs...My little Nurse Shark buddy was going nuts, but immediately calmed down for me when I flipped him over. DO NOT try this at home
