He is doing that so he knows he is secure while moving around the human "tree" if you will and not fall off .If he was going to bite you he would not hesitate

Hello, I'm not a expert like some guys on here, however 2 years ago when I first got into snakes I was still nervous around them because lack of knowledge about them"believe it or not even my corn snake made me nervious 2 years ago lol" however now Im the opposite, instead of being nervous, I want to start breeding and I want to work with bigger snakes! Trust me, you'll get over the nerves, and if you don't then maybe you should try a display snake =)

You should enjoy this! I love it when my BP puts his head anywhere on me. One of my females is normally very head shy, so when she rubs it against my hand or face and doesn't get scared, I love it.

I used to have a 4 year old female ball python that liked to rub her face on my cheek and rest her head on my nose. It was the most unusual thing. To this day I still don't know why she did it, but every time I had her out, without fail, she would do it.

and just because this place goes by the "pics or it didn't happen" rule ...



And this was my first snake, given to me at that size. So I was pretty nervous myself.

My first ball python made me nervous. Mainly because he was my first snake, and even though he was in a tight ball in my hand he was going to somehow bite me Once I sorta got used to them the nervousness went away, but I did get pretty scared once when I was holding my friends ball and the next thing I know his head was level with my head and he licked me nose how wrong did that sound?
