Personallities

What are your snake(s) personallities like? My corn seems to only like me, it's like he's possessive! When he is on me if anyone else tries to touch him he doesn't like it. Can they be like that? Thanks in advance.
 
Yes, in my experience they can certainly come to recognise their primary carer as a safe place, and can express a preference for them if it arises. This doesn't apply to all Corns - some are happy to be handled by anyone, some don't like being handled at all. They each have their individual quirks and behaviours.
 
My snakes personalities are very "depressive" and almost as if they don't feel attached to me. They just seem to be content to stay in their hides and eat. I rarely even get a tail wagging when I come in the room anymore. Things have just changed for us all over the past few years, we seem to have grown apart.

It can happen to anyone I suppose

i think mine "chose" me at the show when i picked her up...she did this cute little wiggle up my arm and just hung out like "hey, im going with you k?" and has been THE sweetest little snake since. my s/o holds her which she doesn't mind, he is like a furnace and is nice and warm and she cruises around on his arm, and when i hold her she snuggles up and "hangs out"...she likes to stretch out and try to get on my glasses lol. a friend of mine held her the other day and she was bound and determined to find somewhere else to be, and as soon as i took her she calmed down.
 
Mine certainly knows I'm her primary. She's stopped trying to come to me from the children, but if the hubby, who rarely holds her, holds her, she's all about trying to get back to me. She also loves my daughter's hair. It's so funny; she'll tongue flick, and figure out that it's her and she goes straight up for her hair. She certainly knows their are four different big monsters who mess with her hiding! :)
 
Mine are more comfortable with me, and we have our disagreements and our "I'm sorrys" Most of the time it's just a matter of business when they are being held, we seem to connect better when they are in their own safe and secure vivs, they look at you, they yawn, they cock their little heads. It's weird but it's almost like a mental conversation. I find it special when they interact with me on their own terms. Kind of like how I don't ask my dogs to give kisses, it's not a command as I've seen others do, but something they chose to do. When an animal as primal and distant as a reptile chooses to acknowledge you, it's something special.
