Cuddles!

Right...I was just reading in one of the reptile magazines that John sent me about how if you are afraid when you are holding a snake, you tense up and stuff and the snake can sense you being uncomfortable and tense, which makes the snake go on the defensive and the snake will often then musk and poop. I also think that snakes probably smell things on us like other animals and things like that and become defensive. Perhaps they may even smell something that smells bad to them and become defensive.

I'll be that it was their dog & cats he was smelling on her. Chewy (their dog) is always all over them, and even our dog went crazy when she came in, trying to figure out if they were another dog in the house. Cuddles is used to the smells of our dog and cat, but I bet this one was more overpowering. Also, I think she was trying too hard to control where he moved and he didn't like that. I just sit him in my hand and let him curl up where he likes. He was fine once I was holding him again.

You're probably right...or he just didn't like her. If she was trying to control him, I'm sure that freaked him out.

Yeah. I like to just let him move through my fingers, but she was closing her hand around him. I took him away after less than a minute.

Anyways, Chubby here ate a worm and a slug today. Usually he doesn't eat more than one thing in a feeding, but the last two times he's just gobbled everything down!
