Your favourite moments with snakes.

Mine are when they open their mouths to eat their meal. Sometimes you have to work hard on that part. The opening of their mouth is like a reward of your efforts. I like this in snakes. They tend to be so unpredictable and picky.

I have to say babies taking that first ever meal... something special about seeing tiny little newborns turn into savage feeders.

Mine would be babies first breath.

I'll have to agree with Wayne. Babies first meal, it's such an exciting moment! I love when they yawn too, that is the cutest!

With one of our vivs on a chest of drawers in the bedroom, my favourite moment it getting up each morning to find Esk peering out of the viv to say "good morning".

for me it's a feeling i rediscovered this year after an absence of some time, it's spotting a strange small movement in the viv and discovering that you have babies and then to enhance the feeling its trying to count just how many of these little tykes have turned up in your viv, an unbelievable buzz

mine is when i place something new in the enclosure, and they come out to investigate it, and hopefully play on it for awhile.

... before loosing interest and going back to their old stuff. Wait. No. This is a snake we're talking about, not the cat.

When Houdini (my blind snake) gets excited when he smells my hand in his cage after a long period of me being away and crawls up my arm to say hello And then when he smells other people's hands and refuses to go to them when I try to hand him off to someone else.
