Re: The benefits of handling + other stuff
okay I have to chime in on this one.
sal knows its me, he smells me , but he likes the vibrations i project to him threw speach, like the montra I use on him its always the same thing, I say to him as I hold him, are you a pritty baby, yes you are... he can feel this and knows its me . i know this sounds krazzzzy but I can tell what hes thinking by looking at his eyes, yea snake whisperer, but all animals go by feelings we do to so the 6th scense it relevant to me. same conection with cats dogs and horses . handling a animal is good for both ... you know the saying theres nothing like the outside of a horse for the insides of a man. its a natural conection to all living things that humand are either open to or totaly closed to and are non belivers we need each other.. okay krazzzzy lady has left the building!!! bye cool study greg thanks for the results.. bye michelle |

Re: The benefits of handling + other stuff
I agree with you on this, Michelle... all except for the voice thing... the mantra calms you, not him, it's steadies your heart rate, alters your temperature, effects the way you move etc. It is this (and your scent) that he recognises and feels comfortable with.
There is no doubt that tactile contact with our pets (whatever their species) is good for us.

Re: The benefits of handling + other stuff
So snakes don't actually hear, but feel vibrations? I mean, I knew they didn't have actual ears, but I still thought they could hear somehow.
Very interesting stuff -- I learn something new every day.........  And James, I too would love to know why hummus is such an obsession with you!
