I'm interested in your opinion about my bull snake
I've been told that Leaya, my 4 year old 6 foot Bull Snake's behavior, is odd for her species. What do you think?
I got her directly from a breeder when she was 3 months old and she was never snippy and LOVED being held.
She bit ONCE when she was young but that was due to the fact that my mom was hand feeding and held the mouse around the middle (thawed). She got mom's finger, but the way Leaya reacted was incredible. She REFUSED to eat that mouse, I had to toss it, and she.nudged mom's finger like she was apologizing. Ever since, even with the tongs, she runs her nose up and down the rat, then takes it VERY cautiously. And in 4 years I've only been bitten once.
She has NEVER musked, she only snorts if I take her outside and too many of the neighborhood kids rush up to see her, and all try to pet her at once. She doesn't even HISS (and I'm serious she's only really hissed, sounding like a waterspout 1 time!) Let alone triangle her head or tail rattle.
Leaya also seems to be protective. She was challenging one of our cats for hissing at me, when my illness put me on the ground she made her nose bleed trying to get out. And for the first time, she struck at my mom for yelling at me.
Plus she DANCES only to Klove Radio, and when I sing along with it, she won't do.it with any other station. And she's been doing that all her life.
So on a scale of 1-10 how weird is she for a bull snake?
