    Not the first time they've done this kind of thing.
    They are my snakes and even shy away from some of my kids. They know and trust me and I them.
    I do spend the most time with them to be honest.
    Strangers in the snake room always puts them on edge.
    Kind of like a predator coming into their home.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    A regular St. Francis of the snake world.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    They have evolved with that innate ability. Survival means knowing how to identify predator and prey visually. It stands to reason that they use this skill combined with the positive enforcement you give them when you feed them, to know you on sight and know that you = feeding time.
