Thanks!
Yes, I always try to be aware of what my snake is doing and I adjust to them. Also, they don't perform while in a shed, being medicated for an illness or injury, after eating, or when it's ridiculously cold outside...and they are put on a reduced schedule when they are on a feeding strike. I use my time after performances to let people meet my snakes and I answer questions and dispel myths about snakes. It's a great opportunity to re-educate people and my girls are so well socialized that it really makes for a positive thing.
I take snake dancing pretty seriously and am insured and include clauses in my contracts to protect my snakes. I actually write for a national belly dance magazine and I did an article a while back on snake dancing (with an emphasis on it being a living creature...ie a big responsibility).
