do balls know the owner by the scent ? just wondering.

thanks

No. Not that I am aware of.

i dont know because mine if he is in his hide box and i put my hand in the cage he will come out and come to me. maybe it's just me but i think they know their owners scent

I'm almost positive that corn snakes can recognize different people's scent...and I don't see how bp's would be any different. For example, my little guy acts differently with me than with strangers. He loves my brother, and doesn't like to be held by my mom. Snakes have a very strong sense of smell...much better than ours. If we can tell the difference between the smell of one person and that of another, surely they can as well...purely an opinion, but it makes sense.

i think so too. cause when i hold mine, he's really calm and he's always exploring things. then when i take him outside to in presence of other people, he grips on tight and kinda hides himself in my hand. don't know if he's comfortable with me, or he just doesn't have anywhere else to hide.
