Do you let your BP come near your face?

[Lolo76]

Depends on the snake, I suppose. James the Stimson's Python, Toby the BP, or Izzy the Spotted? Sure, no problemo. Betty the evil corn snake? Not a chance!

I'd never force myself on a snake, though, and only give "kisses" (nose-touches) when they initiate the movement towards my face... those specific pythons I mentioned will often do that, whereas some of my snakes avoid getting too close. I let the snakes decide how friendly they want to be, as each has a different level of comfort with me.

As for letting other people get in their faces, I'd only let ADULTS do that - and always at their own risk & with my warning. My 4yo niece has tried to give them kisses, and I just told her "never touch the face or head, only the back." My 2yo nephew hasn't gotten that close to my snakes yet, but I'll tell him the same if/when he ever does.
