Boy do I feel silly....

[Eileithyia's keeper]

I would feel silly if I didn't talk to my snake. It just comes naturally. I talk to all of my pets, and my plants too. It's just another way of communicating. I think they get the idea, whether or not it's "understandable" to them!

i talk to my mojo girl sometimes...
for me it's
"dont even think about it!" when she's giving my hand the "stink-eye".
if she looks REALLY serious she get's a quick spritz from the water bottle but i'm a very bad aim so 9 x's outta 10 i'll end up hitting the bark in front of her which is enough to make her back off.

Snakes do hear, or so say the scientists.

haha I talk to mine too!

I like to think that she hears me, cuz when I talk she looks at me and kind of tilts her head like a dog does lol

Ok...now my question is...I DJ at home a lot so would the vibrations from the music be too much for the BP if its in another room? I'm really not loud and neither is the house (especially since the wife is now ex-wife Yea me) except for when I'm watching a good movie or playing music. It may sound silly but if its going to make mine uneasy or annoy the crap out of him/her I'd like to know as it will help me with the location of the tank and I'll also know to be "considerate" when I play music or watch movies.

Forgive the "silly" question but I like to know as much as I can and research before I purchase my BP

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I play video games involving loud and frequent gunfire in the same room as my geckos, and they have "proper" ears, and it doesn't seem to bother them, so I wouldn't expect a snake to be bothered by music or movies, especially in a different room.

Don't feel silly, I think we all do it (whether we admit it or not.). I believe that, although our pets don't understand the words, they do understand or at least sense our intentions and emotional state...the tone of our voice also may also affect their reaction to us.
I'm convinced my dog understands everything I say ;-)

My dog DOES understand everything I say. My husband and I have to spell OUT because he hears the word and gets all excited wanting to go outside. It's not the tone of voice either. He picks it out in random conversation. Lol

I just always figured that when I talk to my snakes, to them, I sound like Charlie Browns school teacher...
