What are some of the wierd things you do with your snake? KEEP IT CLEAN!

When it's cold out I sometimes take fatso and lay on the couch with him. I lay his body in line with mine so my body heat warms him up. I keep hold somewhere in the first 18" and watch TV under a thick blanket. SOOOOOOO many people think this is not normal yet they cuddle with their dog. When they ask why I do it I ask why they cuddle with their dog. I get "uh, duh" or a blank stare!

Does this mean I have a heat problem? Yes! Yes I do! I have all the materials I need now and am working on above tank heating.

How about you?

Massage... I let my Dumeril Boa massage my neck. Anytime I put him on my neck he will massage his way across my neck. I don't know why he does it but It feels great! I always try to get my girlfriend to try it but she won't . . . She isn't afraid of the snakes or anything . . . I think she thinks it's too weird . . . oh well her loss . . .

next . . .

I've kept my boa warm on my stomach under blankets. I've had a ball sleep on me, I fell asleep too. I hope I'm not the only one who talks to them. I cant keep a relationship because people get tired of me talking about them constantly like they were my children. Theres probably a lot more, but I cant think of any more right now.

The Massage thing is interesting. I have arthritis in my hands, and my 5 ft Dumerils will wrap around my hand, and he is quite powerful, and he'll keep squeezing, and going around my hands and wrist...and when I take him off...I'm actually kind of pain free for a little while.
I noticed that ages ago.

I definitly talk to my boys. I tell them my problems and they always listen. A gold fish is not company but a large python is.
