All snakes have individual personalities and temperaments and they are all different from each other and snakes are and can be actually VERY entertaining and they do some of the funniest things ever. Most snakes definitely have their own likes and dislikes :)

For many years I've had church an d school groups and their parents visit my home to meet my snakes and learn about them and it's the greatest feeling in the world when people realize that snakes have no malicious intent and they touch one for the first time and their face lights up with such a big proud smile :)
These two visitors have been stopping by for awhile but the lady in the video was terrified of snakes her first visit and now she adores them.
It's amazing how many people actually associate snakes with evil because of their reputation for representing Satan in the Garden Of Eden and it's such a sigh of relief for people to see that snakes are really very awesome and cool animals.
I had planned to post this video earlier but was sick for two months with a respiratory infection and sadly enough Deffer my cat in this video passed away last week from kidney failure so I especially wanted to share this video in her behalf !

People always ask me why my snakes are so tame and why they don't strike at people so I'm making this video to better explain all the extra time and quality care that I invest with each snake to insure they trust people and remain social animals.

Upon request some of my snake enclosures :)
We all do things different to care for and raise our snakes because each snake is just as much an individual as every person is and there is nobody that knows each of your snakes as well as you do, their handler and owner. Someone that really loves their snakes gives each snake the environment they can best thrive in to remain healthy content snakes. I've raised snakes for 55 years and have never had to seek a vet for any health related issues with any of my snakes except for two rescued snakes and a LOT can be avoided from going wrong if you spend a ton of time observing your snakes and watching their body mechanics because they can let you know what needs to be changed or what they want different so they are more comfortable in their enclosures. It's all up to you to learn to understand each individual snake and give each one a good environment to exist in.
People on the other end of a keyboard have no right to tell you what you need to be doing for each of your snakes because there is no way they could possibly know your snakes as the individuals that they are, without having a close personal relationship with them so use your own good judgment and do what you feel is in your snakes best interest !!
People that keep snakes should spend less time finding fault with each other and pointing their fingers at each other and work together as a group of people that are trying to educate others about snakes. If we can't agree on a common goal without insulting each other that only accomplishes one thing and that is it shows people that we can't function as a tight group of people working toward a common goal and in the long run it's the snakes that lose out :( This division within the reptile community makes everyone a target when it comes to the animal rights organizations pushing their agenda and fighting to ban us all from keeping our pets. (HSUS, PETA, ASPCA,etc.)

I love observing my snakes daily to learn more about them from their behavior and actions. I reunited my adult female Tawny with her babies that were almost a year old for the purpose of observing their behavior and everything I witnessed was a total display of affection between the female and her babies the same twitching body mechanics that a male and female display when they are courting and the babies were too young to be trying to court the female, Yet so many people swear that snakes have no emotional bond with people or with each other.
