    Also, one big reason to get your snakes THIS relaxed about handling is that it really pays off if & likely when you need to help them physically or medically.
    Developing & being able to demonstrate empathy for our pets makes them better pets & us, better humans. I've found when I'm 'in the moment' & totally
    focused on helping an animal, it's as if they somehow know that & don't fight me...it's almost magical at times. Sorry if that sounds nutty, but when we're
    relaxed & focused, it's as if our good intentions can be felt thru our touch by the snake (or other animal) we're trying to help.
    Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

    The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ~ Gandhi
