Re: What feels good to a snake?

I believe that snakes can recognize certain people, and associate them with "good" things like food and/or heat. I have seen snakes initiate interaction with people, and I really couldn't tell you why... climbing out of their temperate enclosure to travel on a person, for instance. Following a person around the yard, as well. I'm sure all of these instances are the result of a primal sensory like heat and/or cover seeking... but the snakes are not distressed in any way during the reactions, so that's a "good" thing then, yes? Indifferent is better than negative.

Re: What feels good to a snake?

When I asked my snakes,"what feels good to you guys?" They all had the same reply. Eating, sleeping, bathing, and fornicating.

Re: What feels good to a snake?

I have to agreed snakes don't like getting petted. They can enjoy your body heat but that is about it I say this is snakes not all reptiles, my tegu Cookie loves getting pet or enjoys it a great deal he also likes when I take his shed off.

Re: What feels good to a snake?

My two penny's worth. I believe snakes are one of natures true 'primitives' and haven't lost their wild side to domestication. No matter what 'pet' association we give these creatures fundamentally they are primitive, kill to survive and nothing in between. We need to learn their behaviour unlike a dog or cat that can learn ours. Remember we befriended these animals and wished to keep them as 'pets', we are the lucky ones being able to share their nature, not the other way around.
