I'd like to know about your experiences with inquisitive snakes that seem smarter than the average snake. I'd really like to hear about snakes that seem to enjoy human interaction. I currently keep five snakes, two ball pythons, a Honduran milk snake, and a pinstripe corn, and my woma. Every one but the woma are small.
My woma is ridiculous. I've had him for about a 7 weeks. He was never handled at the pet store and the employees were slightly intimidated by him. Woma's try to eat people. Even at only 4 feet. They had him for over a year.
He is so cool. I handle him when he wants out. I fed him Wednesday morning. This evening when I went into the snake room his head was looking out of his hide. I opened the door to his tank. He started heading to the open door slowly. I used the snake hook to rub his side and tap around his nose, showing him it wasn't a feeding day. He sped up and started got about 10 inches out of the tank. I picked him up at that point and we hung out for about 30 minutes. I always give him a few minutes to explore something, potted plants, the floor a blanket on it, or the couch. I put him up over an hour ago. Right now his nose is up against the door of his tank. The cool thing is he knows what side I open his door on and always goes to that side.
