    Ackies!!

    So i went and picked up the ackies from the airport earlier today and i love them already. They are very cute and have a red tint even though they are yellow ackies. When i first put them in their cage they were running everywhere so i waited about 2 hours then i took one out. I sat in front of the heater with dim light stroking its back for 30 mins (we bonded). He/she had its eyes closed the whole time and looked like it was enjoying it. When i came to put water in the cage later the one i was holding came over and licked me whereas the other one ran away. I have some pictures that i will upload in the morning. I have a question though, its obvious to tell when the ackies are enjoying something because they close their eyes and sprawl out in a relaxed way. Do you think snakes enjoy the same thing such as back rubs but they just cant show it?

    pix coming soon

    most of my snakes like it best when I do as little as possible, but I do have two that seem to enjoy having the sides of their neck stroked
    what I mean by "seem to enjoy" is that they sort of move along with it - hard to describe
    congrats on getting your ackies

    PICS... not sure which one is which, one is slightly larger and more red. I was in my boxers in front of the heater and they were enjoying the warmth.
