Where is your snake's favorite place on you?

I won't even reach into my black racer cage unless he's got food in his mouth first.

Oh, I hear ya. This king is the only one that has truly tried to constrict me. At first you wonder what a king snake can do, and then you're unpleasantly surprised.

But be that as it may, we have formed some form of truce. Simply reaching in is still not a good idea. After a few minutes of seeing me he starts to move, turn away from me, and I can gently pick him up with two hands.

He is getting big, too. He's now on small to medium-sized rats. Twice a week, or he will get cranky.

The only "I will kill you" snake I held was a King Rat Snake. It was pure evil.

How many snakes do you have?

My bigger Dums and Macks all like to ride my shoulders. The smaller snakes all prefer to rest in my hand except the Corns and the little Macks. They keep exploring everywhere they can but I dont let them slither off of me. Sometimes however, Schatzi and Hellboy both will keep themselves warmer by going inside my shirt and resting there.
