    Do you hold your snake on your neck ever?

    I've been reading alot online about not putting the snake on ur neck? I was just wondering how many people do and dont? My snake is a little less than a year old so I doubt she could ever hurt me...but i don't know.

    Re: Do you hold your snake on your neck ever?

    I don't do it with my Balls very much. Not because I'm afraid they would hurt me, but because they're so clumsy I'm afraid the would fall and hurt themselves. However, I do with my male BCI. He's a little over 6 feet now and sometimes it's easier to drape him over my shoulders if I want to walk around with him.

    I carry mine around my neck all the time. I have watch Hepburn, as she is a klutz, and she prefers me to carry her and to wrap an upper arm instead, but most of them prefer the neck.

    I put my female around my neck occasionally and she just hangs out. Usually she will through a coil or 2 around my head and look straight up in the air. Its so cute to watch

    Mine likes to get in my hair. Odd, but he likes it more than the neck. He also likes laying out in my sweatshirt pocket.

    Re: Do you hold your snake on your neck ever?

    I''ve held 10' burmese pythons and 8' boa constrictors around my neck.. for many hours, no problems. I used to work at a reptile zoo and I'd hold the snakes a lot for the kids to see and pet.

    My snake is only a 3.5 foot ball python and he hangs around my neck. Only

    once has he ever tightened up on me and he was easy to remove.

    I never do; they get caught in my hair, and it stresses both me, and them, out..!

    I don't put them around my neck. I've had them get stuck in my hair as well, and well..... ummm.... they always flick their tongue on my ear and I'm super ticklish. (just not a good combo)
