“The best way to identify yourself to them is to let their tongue hit your skin.” - BrianSmith



Hi Richard - I’m pretty sure Damon wasn’t advocating that you approach your snake (or really any snake) by putting your hand in front of its face when you first enter its cage. Big mistake! Especially with a snake with heat-sensing pits.



“When I take her out of her cage to play with her, she gets all huffy and hissy at me. She jerks her body to get away from me, but once I get her out, she is fine, and tries to find her way back into her cage. how weird.” - rsalib



Perfectly normal behavior. Keep up calm, deliberate interaction with her from time to time.



-Joan
