Yes, I was surprised to find out how dear to me certain snakes were/are. It was my two bees, and I think mostly because of their slight wobble. They are just so endearing. That endearment has spread to all of my snakes. Don't get me wrong, before I ever bought one I measured am I in this for the long haul? Do I like snakes that much (I liked their genetics that much but care and feeding was more my questions)?
It was only after having them for a year or so that the differences in their personalities began to show and my two bees just stole my heart. There is something useful to the human soul to be able to learn to read a reptiles mood from it's body language, I think because that language is so foreign to mammals.
Genetics attracted me, but behavior stole my heart.
