None of my animals are afraid of my snakes. My parrot thinks the milk snake is his toy. He gets excited when I take it out, and will stretch out as close as possible and go, "0o0o0o0ohhh..." He says that when he gets excited about something.


On the other hand, my ball python is afraid of my pet rats. Not even joking. She's a mouser - refuses to feed on rats. And one night I had her around my shoulders while sitting at my computer typing. One of the rats (who was across the room on a table and supposedly unable to get down) fell, and came scampering over to me. The snake started hissing like mad and when I took her off my shoulders she curled up into a little tiny ball. She did not go into strike mode. I thought it was the funniest thing.
