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.
