Re: Do you think your snakes can be affectionate?
lol i think its more the people who believe that their snake wants to "cuddle" them and whatever... i enjoy showing my snakes off to people, mainly to educate them and show that they're not giant monsters. however i do this in a manner which works for the snake, i never take them out to handle more than once per day, usually around 3-4 times per week, during cleaning duties and for just plain old handling. If i do allow someone to see the snakes then i do the holding purely because i do not trust the other person with holding them. i think the only person to hold any of my reptiles other than myself would be my girlfriend. again, i think this boils down to being responsible with the animal.
