Katie had a rough day today and wanted to hold Solana ((our baby (9g) scaleless sunglow motley corn)). About a minute into holding Solana, she calmed right down and was smiling. I realized, Solana is Katie's "therapy snake."Originally Posted by Gio
Made me think, Behira is definitely my "therapy snake." She's my reptilian companion animal. I love her personality and we interact really well together. We really know and understand each other at this point (as much a grown man and 2 year old BCI can anyway). She makes me really happy and I am able to really relax interacting with her. It's not that the other snakes and lizards don't do that for me, Behira just seems to have the strongest effect. She's my buddy!
Also, nothing against the 5 dogs! They all make me happy, but I interact with them differently. They are definitely my snuggle buddies.
Nice to know Behira is beautiful and docile, but also very therapeutic!
As a final note. After holding Solana, Katie said she missed Behira and wanted to see her soon. That's a big deal. I did not take her out tonight because she had been out earlier today and the lights were out at that point. No reason to fight the food response and go through that battle!
