    Snakes aren’t dogs smh I think your thoughtful behaviors are actually quite detrimental. Snakes don’t want to be pet/massaged. Petting a snake is only enjoyable for the human. It’s ok if the snake isn’t stressed but it’s not something that should be done often. If you want an affectionate animal invest in a pup imo I don’t mean to be rude but thinking a snake is wagging it’s tail bothers me. Colubrids will “wag” their tails but as a warning to be left alone. You might be handling him too much and he just wants peace and quiet.
