A couple radixes.

Here's a little update to My daughter Gabby's trouble with my Big Girl.
The other night I looked into the big enclosure where Big Girl lives. I saw the back 3/4 of her but not the rest. She had that area in the wood pile. I wanted to try something so I yelled for Gabby.
I opened the enclosure and reached in and started rubbing Big Girl's back. She never moved. I then told Gabby to reach in and rub the same area I was. I pulled my hands out as Gabby touched her. Big Girl's reaction was immediate. She pulled herself out from the log and chased Gabby's hand away. The snake couldn't see either of us. Apparently she new my touch and was fine with it but then recognize someone else touching her and reacted. She seems to like me. I love this girl as I've watched her grown from a newborn to the large adult radix that she is. Her black coloring and that white dorsal are awesome. She will be allowed to breed next spring. I've got just the guy for her. She will be spending some Spring time with my dark dark male Midnite. Together they will have awesome babies.
Of course, I think all snake babies are awesome.

Steve,

Here's just a thought or stretch...

I know animals can react to scent and recognize each person by scent & touch. They also have been known to identify people with ailments. Does Gabby have an ongoing ailment, illness, allergies, etc that the snake may pick up on? May not have to be serious or severe but perhaps that is why our Snakes will take to some people upon meeting and not others; as Greg had mentioned at the college. Just another avenue to explore and I think could prove to be a rather interesting one at that.

Anybody need a thesis idea?

My Gabby is perfect in every way other then getting her room clean.
Good idea and food for thought.
