I think my snake loves me

[MonitorLove]

My snakes love me because I like to think they do, and I love them quite dearly.


Heck, I provide them with heat, shelter, water, homegrown ratties. Whats not to love?!

They haven't tried to assassinate me in my sleep yet either...yeah, I'd say it's love

I don't think your giving snakes enough credit. They have fundamental or if in our case Primal emotions. Kyros is my baby. He goes with me everywhere when its warm enough. I can say that for most of you that have more than 2 snakes that you don't really spend as much time with yours as I do. I am constantly watching him. I have noticed little bits and peices of deeper hidden emotions than one would think to ever look for. That said I belive that my snake loves me. His constant trust and his will to always have an up beat attitude no matter if we are at Chipotle, Borders, the plaza, or the Rennaisance festival. He loves his outings. He never tries to get away or freaks out, he stays close to me just chillin until I pick him up. Kyros is a very interesting ball python. He never tries to escape, only just exploring. Calypso on the other hand is one fast little lady. And there is a difference. I don't half@$$ anything with my snakes( I'm not saying you guys half@$$ at all I'm just making a point). They get mice that I breed so I know they are getting the highest quality food I could offer them. The only water I use for them is purified Spring water( includes misting, soaking, and drinking water which is changed daily). and No one touches either of my babies without first using purell. I believe that my Python Paradise helps these emotions show alittle more. Ask anyone who has had a ball python and has seen Kyros if he has emotions and they will tell you "oh heck yeah! more than my BP". Kyros is my little prince and his attitude will show you just how much of a charmer he is. I'll make a youtube video and prove to you that snakes do have emotions!

My boa loves to pee on me...does that count?

LOL That is so sick. I am glad that has never happened to me. Your snake must love you... but mine does not love me.

One of my BPs always pokes her little (ok, really big) head out of her hide to see me when I come into the room. I think this is so adorable.

Same snake bit the crap out of me last night...lol. It is always hungry and that is one of its main concerns in life. The other concerns are that she is not in danger, and that her tub is clean. And I'm sure pretty sure breeding will be added to that list very soon.

I think that snakes learn to trust their keepers (some-not all), and that is the extent of the bond. & I am perfectly happy with that (actually, I am in awe of that). And as their keeper, what I feel towards them is an amazing amount of responsibility (& respect). Every aspect of their daily lives is in my care. & I must meet their needs everyday for the rest of each of their lives. However, I cannot compare how I feel about my snakes to how I feel about my dogs. My dogs are like friends (ok, silly ones that can't take anything seriously,with a decreased mental capacity).

Please tell me you're not taking your snake into restaurants - I read that wrong, right?

We're fighting to keep our rights to have these wonderful animals, we don't need people to be irresponsible and force our snakes on others by toting them along with us in public.

I promise you - you are getting more pleasure from this than Kyros is. Try not to love him to death. I mean that with the most respect.

Love is a very complex emotion. Snakes, and other animals, in my opinion, cannot feel it. They feel happiness and they can like things that you do but thats it. They just associate you with good things. It depends on if you would define love as that.
