That is true. I remember holding an African Rock Python when I was a little kid and it was one of those revelation moments when something I was expecting to be horrid turned out to be actually pretty nice. The snake was well used to people so perfectly friendly but it just felt so smooth and nice. Probably quite therapeutic too.

It's different when you come across them in the wild of course and feel that animal sense of danger but as long as you possess some rationality or the snake's very big and very hungry that perception of danger is mostly false but is probably why more people don't like them.

Those are 2 very beautiful snakes btw, PBL. The female in the first pic has a really great look on it's face and that colour is something else. Do those black eyeballs move independently?
