My Byron does the same. I think snakes are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a headache. Byron slithers up onto my shoulders and round the back of my neck with his head sitting on my shoulder. For about 30 minutes he just sat there, squeezing the back of my neck rhythmically, not moving anywhere. It was so soothing.


Last night I had a migraine headache. Don't get them often but when I do it's zig-zag lines usually followed by me getting totally unco-ordinated. Byron did the same thing again. It's almost as if he knew (or could sense something wrong). Ironically, Bobby my other BP did the same thing last night after I swapped holding snakes with my hubby. Bobby is the shyer of the two and will usually only sit on me for about 10-15 minutes (he seems to prefer my hubby). He slithered up the same way Byron did and did exactly the same thing, except it was firmer as he is a bigger snake. Bless them, they tried and it did help a bit. I gave up eventually and went to my bed. I still feel as if my head's stuffed with cottonwool today.
