Does your snake come out when you call?

Found a new trick that my Shesha knows. When I call him in a deep voice he comes out from where he's hiding. At first I thought it was a coincidence but it was really weird. When I called his name he would move an inch or two then stop until I called again. This was all just a couple hours after a feeding and he never comes out of his warm hide before he has a day or two to digest. actually got him all the way out and standing in front of the glass looking at me. I really had no idea that a snake could have that level of interaction. Any body else have a social corn?
 
Rufus notices me whenever I walk into the room.

He likes to watch what I'm doing and will Perk up and start moving around as soon as I walk by.

If I walk towards his cage he will usually meet me at the door unless he's asleep. If I tap on his cage he will look up and then come to the door. He will crawl out the door into my hands and then he fusses when I try to put him back.

Now I can't say that he responds to my voice, but I have noticed he flicks his tongue when I talk to him or get him close to my face.
 
Just wondering how a snake 'fusses' Karl? I do know they are very expressive. I gave my beautiful Charisma a pinky that was too hot when she was small. She bit it and let it go and immediately shot a look at me. That is when I realized that the pink was too hot and I felt so guilty. It really looked like she knew it was my fault. I think I must have imagined it but I won't forget that look. I love corn snakes. I think they are very social.
 
I haven't had Zelda very long, but she is already picking up on our household habits. She doesn't really respond to my voice per se, but she does seem to do more tongue flicking than normal when I talk to her.

Typically she is a hider - usually she spends her time totally hidden or with just her head poking out to observe. BUT. I have noticed that my daughters' bathtime coincides with Zelda coming completely out of her hide to roam around a bit. I first noticed it last week, and now that I started paying attention she is out during bathtime almost every evening. As soon as I start running the water, she pops out to investigate. Yesterday bathtime was after lunch, not in the evening, and she still came out of her hide to see.

Her tank is in my bedroom, which is across the hall from the kids' bathroom, but something about the water running brings her out almost every time!
 
Same as the others here. Naga doesn't come out when I call him, but he does flick his tongue more when I talk to him.
He also comes out of his hide if I tap on the vivarium (feeding associated) and at night approaches the front glass, pushes it and then stares at me when he sees me so that I take him out. At other times, when he sees me approach the viv he sticks his head out of his cave and flicks the tongue for a while, so he notices me, and sometimes he even comes out.
 
I would have thought that any behavior like I, and apparently many others, have experienced would have to be something simple like a feeding response, but at least in my case he had just been fed a couple hours before. There is definitely something more going on inside their little heads!
 
Yes, before he escaped Dolly would come out, not at any particular sound, but since I always talk to my snakes he definitely knew I was there. He didn't start doing it until I had him about 5 months so I don't know if Cleo will do that because she's still a baby and I've had her less than a month. She sure is a little sweetie in any case.

LOL,

yes Rufus fusses with me when I try to put him back in his cage. He likes to come out and I think he really enjoys sitting at the computer with me reading emails and some of the posts here.

But when I take him back to the cage he wraps around my arms making it very difficult for me to put him back. If I put him in the cage "Head First" he will immediately turn around and come back out, and if i put him in Tail First he just crawls farther up my arm.

He comes out of the cage most of the time on his own, I just open the door. But I've yet to see him return to the cage on his own.
 
My Opal is extremely social. My amel never comes out lol.
The Opal comes out every time I talk to him or give him water or adjust the probes... he always wants to come out and see me. He follows my hand and moves wherever I move.
I just put him in his new 20gal so he's pretty stoked about it.
It's funny, I was just thinking how vastly different their personalities are.
Tom is super social and loves being taken out, whereas Seamus is never seen and wants everyone to leave him alone lol
 
My snake comes out of her hide when I walk her to her viv (provided she's not sleeping). Also, if I am making noise in the room, she will watch me - so cute:)
 
When I walk in my snake room on feed day, I say "dinner". I kind it make it sound like a fog horn and they know. They are right at the opening waiting to take my hand off! ��
 
Snakes are basically deaf. They can't respond to particular words, but they're really sensitive to vibrations and smells, so it's probably not their name they're coming to, it's the fact that they noticed you're nearby.

My Rigby is my most social snake and always pops his head out when we're nearby. I can tell he's in blue when he doesn't.
