Frankly My snakes all know when I walk in the room and poke their heads out. but if I was the size of a mouse I know Lady would eat me.
Baby on the other hand I thinks feels some conection with me in some level.
if he dose something he looks at me as if to say "look what I did mom! I fit my self in something smaller than me" or "I just made a poopie, look mom look!!" he looks for efection, almost begging for it. and he very much let me know if he likes something or dislikes it. but then again, we all want to wish our snakes love us and are able to show efection, emotion and anything other than "feed me" or "I will eat you" attitude"
