Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

[dakski]

He looks great. It's interesting you brought up the whole snakes knowing the difference with you shaking because of meds and someone shaking out of fear. My python when he is being held by someone who is nervous and shakes a little will generally grip harder and curl up, but when I hold him I can be walking around and he will be trying to climb up face. Not nervous at all. I don't know if this is true but it is almost like they can recognize a person (maybe by scent) and they learn to trust that you won't let them fall no matter what they do.

Thank you. He's a dapper young fellow.

I do think snakes (can) recognize one person over another by scent, etc. but more often than not feel secure when they are properly supported. People used to snakes and their own individual snakes tend to do a better job supporting them and making them feel safe.

Feliz, for example, is just as chill with my mom, my niece, etc. holding him as when I do because they know how to properly support him and make him feel safe and like he's not going to fall.

I think snakes are pretty simple creatures. Feliz might be more "used" to me and recognize my scent even, but he doesn't feel less "safe" when someone else is properly supporting him/holding him.
