Why did my ball python bite me?

Lol, well if you believe he likes you then I am happy for you. But scientifically it is highly highly unlikely that the snake actually likes you. But it could be a new special morph.

Do you have links to the scientific report you mention. I don't think animals such as snakes have true emotions however I do believe in survival instincts. If the_knot handles her snake often I do think it is possible for the snake to recognize her and feel security there. I don't think there is an eternal love affair by any means. Just mho. But to clarify I'm very very new to the reptile world!

That her you speak of is a he hahahaha.. And no, my snake does not love me but I guarantee he knows me does not matter what someone says.

I actually did not mention a scientific report.



It may recognize your scent and remember that you mean it no harm. That may be true. But any type of feelings or anything I doubt.

I honestly wasn't trying to ruffle your feathers. I'm curious as a new reptile owner. Actually it's my six year olds snake but we know how that works. When I read you say it's scientifically highly unlikely I just wanted more clarification. To me that's like saying I'm 100% almost certain. Just trying to clarify if you actually read a scientific report or just your opinion. Sorry for the confusion.
