Re: Information about myself and my snake :]
Hello, I also own a solitary Californian King snake. it is about that size if not a little longer. I refer to it as an "it" because I do not know the sex of the snake. This snake doesn't ever bite but it will rattle, musk and make a fuss if uncomfortable. It also has some sort of birthmark on the last third of its body.
This snake only seems to let me remove it from the terrarium. When my sister tried it complained by musking which it hasn't done to me in years. I guessed it is the way I hold the snake, and my method of stroking it inside the terrarium beforehand to let it know I am going to pick it up. There could easily be another explanation.
I was under the impression that snakes had very simple minds. Can a snake recognize a handler and remember the care they received from that handler?
