I'd be willing to bet most snakes hate the spray bottle because they're all toasty and you mist them with some cold water. Simply put.

Have you ever jumped into a swimming pool that was cold as h-e-(double hockey sticks)? It sucks. Its probably worse when you have to warm your blood up manually.

I don't try to spray her but if she happens to get misted its a small price to pay for a guaranteed full belly every week.
