Livin life an loven corns
Hi all
My anery iz about 12-13 inch and my normal iz about 14-16 inchs.
But my normal seems alot stronger.And the anrey is fast eats well and has shed and can pick himself up pretty well but just doesent like to wrap around any thing thight.Is this just that he doesent want to or is it because my normal is just bigger?

Thanx
Zach:eek:
 
i'm not really sure but i know my amel who is 14-16 inches long often tries to wrap herself around my arm and hand but seems to fail and fall off but don't worry cos i know she can't grip really well so i always handle her over a table or preferably a cushin!
 
Snake Psy 101 ~~~~:~

I've heard tell from other members that a relaxed and comfortable snake doesn't feel the need to grip on so tight, they trust and "like" you. Some people even will use the word LOVE . Well we all have our thing~~~~~:~ Sam
 
Temperature plays a big role here.

If your snake is cold, he/she will almost always "cling" to you to gain some extra warmth.

If the snake is too warm, he/she will almost always avoid clinging to you since that would lead to it overheating and getting heat related injuries (remember normal internal temp of a human being is ~98 degrees F, and external temps can range from 80-95 degrees).

I'm not saying you should chill your snake, but maybe your temps are in fact a bit too warm, since my snakes always seem to cling to me (I keep them between 75 and 85 deg F, using a fairly precise digital probe thermometer).

I dont think so.......

No i dont think that is it because the 2 corns are housed togather and one holds on tighter then the other.:eek:
 
Maybe one just feels more comfertable with being handled, i also do think that each snake has his or her own personality so maybe the one that dosn't like to grip around your hand isn't as sociable.
 
Hey snakelover #1, do your snakes hide under the same hide? Because most snakes housed together avoid each other, so one snake will be on the warm side all the time and the other will be on the cool side all the time.

If not, then maybe your normal is a male and thinks your a female, or another male and needs to show you how buff he is. :D

Also, I'd separate those two, could cause problems later. Then again, others will disagree, it's your call.

Well thay sometimes hide togather like 40% of the time thay do i think thay are right now and yes i will seperate them in the future.I dont think thay dislike each other.some times thay bask togather.
 
Just because they "bask together" doesn't mean they like each other. It means they both want to thermoregulate their temp in the basking area to a warmer degree.

It has nothing to do with them liking each other. Snakes are in fact solitary animals, and they don't become "buddy buddy" with each other. They could care less if they never saw each other again.

But alas this has nothing to do with your thread. so anyways! :)

Snake Personalities~~~~~:~

Beanie and Barbie never do anything apart (well, they eat apart) but then they are back together. If one is on one side the other is on the same side.

Cornelius and Sauron tried to get apart as much as possible, now they each have their own happy home. Now they stare at each other through the glass. Funny guys.

Cornflake and Cornpuff are here, there and everywhere, together sometimes, apart sometimes.

Noel and Sydney can't keep them apart but they are still babies. We'll see what happens when they get older. What ever they want. They will get!

Who knows as long as they are "happy":D Sam ~~~~:~
 
You said "They could care less if they never saw each other again." but there are some people that have said they housed their snakes together but when the snakes where seperated the snakes stopped eating.
 
O.k. fine.

All snakes love each other and are unhappy if they don't have a best friend.....

what do you want me to say? I am telling you that SCIENTIFICALLY snakes do not need "friends" but if the only thing you want to hear is that your snakes are "friends" then fine. But in reality the snakes DO NOT CARE if they never see each other again. Any snake that you have heard of not eating because it was seperated stopped eating because of enviroment change. Not because it "missed its friend"

Sorry but I don't anthropomorphize. I go by facts.

I will agree that MOST snakes don't need friends that are snakes but do you think they have human friends (by this i mean humans that they like)?
 
I am sure they become accustomed to a certain human feeding them and such. And they don't mind being held. But if that human was to be never seen again, it wouldn't affect the snakes health and it would continue living normally.

To think in the snakes head they will suffer if you leave, that again would be anthropomorphizing, putting/associating human feelings, your feelings, to the snake and assuming he feels and thinks how we do. When in fact they don't have emotions, or make "friends" they survive. The whole point of their exsistance is to fed and breed, so their actions are either for surviving or feeding. They probably don't even know this though.

I think that sounds right (probably cos it is) Akasha will let me hold her and seem happy with that but when one of my friends try to hold her she starts whizzing around in their hands as if trying to get free but that is probably just recognition she is used to me holding her and knows my scent, but i still like it when she curls the last bit of her tail around my finger and not anyone elses.
 
It's a good thing we people are so emotional~~~~~:~

I love it!
"Sorry but I don't anthropomorphize. I go by facts. "

Half the fun is anthropomorphizing about the little "monsters" But I do agree with you. The facts are critical and I need them to ensure healthly snakes. But it is also true that they all "act" differently to each other and towards me. Thus, they get labeled as having different personalities.
The most positive response seems to be the association between me and food. So far I haven't lost any fingers.
I guess the bottom line is that it's me, not them that "creates" their diverse personas based on my perceptions of what accounts for their behavior. I can't help it. There're my little darlings! Sam ~~~~~~~:~


Who knows, maybe we are part of some early mutation process where snakes will develop some sort of feelings because of our interaction and the positive results of human/snake bonding....Now think about that for a little while. Hope that brings a smile to a few faces.
