How do you make snake hats?

[CamoCat]

I started putting hats on my boa about two years ago, and she now has a couple thousand followers, many of which are not snake people. It's actually been really positive because it's gotten a lot of people who previously hated snakes to reconsider. I really think that when done carefully it can be a huge way to reach out and educate people. She has changed many many minds.

I either just set them on her head carefully, or else use a tiny bit of peanut butter. I see no reason why it would be an issue. I clean it off gently as soon as I'm done taking pictures. Figment is a very tolerant snake.

Here are a few of my favorites.






And the one that started it all...

The one with the birthday hat is the one I've been showing my friends when they think I'm crazy wanting to know how to make snake hats. I found it on Google images, nice to meet the person who did it!

Figment's facebook page is neat to follow CamoCat. Look into it

@Figment I totally wondered how you got the devil horns to stay on! That's probably my fav.

well, this albino cobra looks quite festive

Is that yours??? if so PLEASE tell me how you got a cobra to wear a hat without coming away with a nasty bite.

I've, like so many on here. Having been keeping for a long time. And I'm not ashamed to admit I'm always learning more. I never wanted to be part of a form, but after lurking forever. My kids encouraged me to join (Little ones are so tech savvy ). I think within reason, to each his own. But I can't help but see this as a conflict to the welfare of the snake, and potential for disaster. And a undermining of what's in the snakes best interest. Just my opinion. No need to start a war. I can understand strong feelings of feeder tanks, and f/t vs live. Tanks vs tubs. But I just can't help thinking of someone trying to stick a hat on a snake, and getting tagged. People get upset about stressing a snake with a soak, but sticking things on a snakes head. Sorry, be happy and happy Herping. But a big "I don't get it". Sorry Judy, I'm not trolling for a fight. Just doesn't seem like something that should be encouraged. Peace.

Nothing to apologize for at all. You have a valid opinion and posted your reasons for your opinion in a calm and civil manner. I wish all disagreements were handled this way! It's up to anyone reading these threads to decide on their own if they want to agree or disagree with you or me or anyone else, and you gave some sound reasons for folks to consider.

Yeah...I don't know how many people I've shown a picture of my ball python and they ask if it's safe because "the fangs have been removed"
