I want to know can snakes sense fear or if the handler is uncomfortable with handling the snake.I know that they are not dogs, but I just wonder. Nanners will sit quitely with my husband but squirm away from me. The reason nanners wasn't too keen on me is because I don't handle him as well as my hubby, also I was messing with his cage trying to find him since he went under the newspaper and I couldn't find him, rotten stinker, that is your snake!
