Hi guys , this is me sitting with my snake , he seems to like laying there without a care in the world .When he was younger , he would go past me , and now he would lay there all day if i had time .I know that snakes are not that kind of pet , but wondered , is there anyone here that sits with there snakes .

Yep, we have lap snakes. Most of ours love to just hang with us. Our pythons especially though.

That's a beautiful snake you have! Love the coloration.

How do you tell he does like it or just doesn't care and tolerates you? How do you know what your snake does isn't just him being a snake?

Honestly, this stuff needs to be reported scientifically if it's TRUE because you'd win a nobel prize guaranteed.

I don't quite understand the bold part.

I don't pet mine. There is the BCI who doesn't mind my lap. I don't have to restrain her, she just rests there, body relaxed and breathing slowly. But I think I'm more or less the next convenient basking spot.

The rest of my snakes would be all over the place. My CA king does a cloverleaf pattern with me in the center if I let him go. A few times he returned to poop on me. Not sure what that means. I normally don't let him roam, but he is so active that I just had to try a couple of times to find out what he'd do.

I agree , i think my legs and lap are just a nice few logs to rest on.

It's ok to humanize a snake's tolerances. They're pets, we build up their personalities out of their actions, its our way. I dont think Tracy is stupidly saying "He would like nothing more!" or something of the sort.

Don't let the picky attitude wind you up, Tracy.

And now for a completely different topic: I'm not that familiar with non-colubrids, pardon the ignorance. What kind of snake is this?

^^
i feed all my snakes in a tub that i clean out even if i clean with bleach and all that the moment my snakes go into the tub they go strait into feed mode tell they are done then i use the lid to block their heads so they cant bite me and pet them and after that they calm down and i can put them away without being bit.
