Can she tell who I am?

lilbitlizz Aug 13, 2003 04:34 PM

I know that snakes have an incredible sense of smell/taste. And each of us has our own scent, so can my snake tell who I am versus other people?

Also, does anyone know whether or not snakes can see color?

did you make that one up yourself or did it come from somewhere else. Either way, it's a cool saying. I don't know, I just like cool sayings. They stick in my head. Thanks, Scott.

Thanks,

As far as I know it's original. Kinda my catch phrase to remind myself that my serpents don't particularly "care" about me.

Regards,
Jeff

Just kidding....

...this would come up. There are a number of examples that can be used to debunk the statement. I just use it to apply to the snakes in my collection. I tend to think that after a while they will feel the same way about me as I do about them. One of the reasons I don't keep hots... I know myself too well. Trouble waiting to happen.

Regards,
J.
