We had an awesome friend and guest for two days at my home Brian Kusko and he met all of my snakes and spent time with most of them one on one outside of their enclosures and they were very cool to make a new friend and warmed up to Brian really fast so that told me that they trust him and were totally comfortable with him with the exception of Jasmine my new Caramel Coastal Carpet Python female that wasn't sure how she should be acting so she tried to attack everyone LOL She finally calmed down so we had a great time just hanging out and talking about snakes and I was truly honored to meet a friend that is as passionate about snakes as I am so that really highlighted Brian's visit. He met my family and we hated to see him leave but he's on a journey to help educate people about snakes so it was a great cause and reason for him to visit friends and spread the love and respect for snakes :o) I felt bad that we couldn't take Nosey and Grumpy out but Grumpy started his shed and cleared his head off and as usual sat there waiting for me to help him finish his shed but Nosey was coiled up with Grumpy and being her usual protective self of her boyfriend Grumpy so I felt it was in our best interest to leave Nosey and Grumpy inside of their enclosure however Nosey did leave Grumpy's side long enough to devour a couple of rats LOL
Also in the video is my male friend and companion Dennis Herosia that I've been spending time with for the past 2 years and he's a really great friend as well :o)

Grumpy was so cute checking out all of my female snakes out in their new snake room I guess he's trying to sort through my girls and decide on one of them for his new girlfriend since his mate and 20 year companion Nosey passed away. He most definitely has his eyes on Lydia my Pastave female Ball Python that I purchased from Genetic Hunters a couple of months ago. Grumpy has definitely made a full recovery from his two month long mourning process over the loss of his companion and he's already looking for another one of my females by his choice to mate with however a Boa and Ball Python don't breed with each other it sure hasn't deterred his interest in Lydia.
Ever just sit and watch your snakes and wonder what they are thinking about?

There is dialog into the video displaying the close relationship that I have with my snakes and why my huge constrictors are gentle giants and don't display aggressive behavior.
It takes dedication and interaction between you and your snakes for them to learn to trust you and for you to be able to be close to them without them feeling threatened, vulnerable or without them stressing out. This is really advantageous when it comes time to feed them because with that bond of trust they don't feel like you are going to try to take their food away from them and they no longer consider you a predator because you are near them when they are eating and this greatly reduces your snakes feeding aggression when they don't feel stressed out but instead they are calm and relaxed in your presence.
I made this feeding video to show people how calm and laid back snakes can be that have a social relationship with their handler and why it's important to maintain a close bond with your snakes on a regular basis.

To insure the safety of my huge Argentine Boa outdoor glass enclosure that is going to built to replace the old one I've had ALL of the trees around my house removed today that can pose any kind of threat to my snakes while outside in their enclosure as well as to prevent any damages to my newly remodeled house.

If you stress out your snakes it makes it more difficult for them to trust you and other people and it's so wrong to push them into any situation that they feel vulnerable or stressed out and these actions are what normally makes your snakes defensive and sometimes aggressive !! If you want friendly social snakes you have to be patient with them and try to understand things from their point of view.
Snakes aren't evil regardless of their age or size but snakes that grow up in a stressful situation are apt to become aggressive which is of no benefit to the snake or to yourself because you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position when your snakes feel like they need to defend themselves ;(
