The Language of Love

If you are already convinced snakes are incapable of love, this post is not for you. But if you are open to the possibility that maybe they do, and maybe they love us too, this post explores that thought. Perhaps snakes feel it differently, perhaps they feel it the same humans do- though even humans experience love, be it platonic or romantic, differently from individual to individual. Different people also show their love in different ways as well! Yet still even with a divide between species most of us have felt love from our furry and feathered friends. Perhaps our scaly friends are also telling us they love us, we just might not understand.

When I first got my girl Scoria, if I could tell her only one thing it would be, "I love you." When I held her, I wondered if she understood how much I cared about her, and would do anything to protect her. When I pet her, I wondered if she knew how amazing I thought she was and enjoyed spending time with her.

And then I started watching livestreams of wild snakes, and how they act toward each other. (The above still is from Project Rattle Cam!) When the babies see a trusted adult, they slither all over them! How many times had my girl happily slithered all over me going no where in particular? I imagine that my finger petting her soft as a feather was probably quite similar to another snake greeting her in such a way.

Sakura is much more shy, yet wants to form a bond with me. I see it when she fights her fear to vibe with me. Sometimes she'll sit for hours at the edge of her tank nearest me, not wanting to come out, but just be near me.

Snakes like rattlesnakes and garter snakes will vibe peacefully with each other, with baby rattlesnakes sleeping near the adult rattlesnakes they trust to keep them safe.

Perhaps, when our shy snakes sits with us, facing their fears they're saying, "I'm scared, but I want to be closer with you." And maybe when our snakes slither all over us, going nowhere in particular, like their wild counterparts do with each other they're saying, "I'm so happy to see you! You're my favorite to be with!" I wonder if they could tell us one thing it would be "I love you, best friend!" And it's okay, best friend. I love you too, and already know. <3

#snakes #snake #hognose #rattlesnakes #rattle snakes #I don't want to debate this- those who would are already cemented in their opinions #Plenty of us snake caretakers have wondered I'm sure #From the behavior I've seen from my girls #I feel we are a happy little family #And they display requesting and giving affection #as well as empathy #Not sure what else they'd need to do to convince the world but its enough for me #And really why deprive snake caretakers the comfort of knowing their little scaley friends love them back #“But maybe they don't”#Yeah well maybe they do #Especially when they're doing the behavior their wild counterparts do when they see their friends #Yes they have friends!#Sakura understands when I do the hognose twitch too and will come over when I do it with my arm #Being able to communicate with them is incredible honestly #Anyway #If there was anyone out there wondering if their snake loves them #If they rush over to see you #like to vibe with you #then they enjoy your company #If they can't wait for you to pick them up and wiggle all over you going nowhere in particular #You know they are happy to be around you and are telling you in snake language #which seems super similar to petting/being pet for a critter with no arms #I mean when you have a tongue that isn't made for grooming #And I think it is family love <3

need to draw more of this concept (more arms for better hugs) at some point but... could nawt get this image out of my head...

#pokemon #gym leader kabu #gym leader larry #aokabu #silverstreak shipping #pokemon larry #pokemon kabu #kabuskortch #larrysparce #i wouldnt say its fully possessive tendencies but... yknow... ^_^ back off buddy.#ill do a full page of more ideas when im not super tired and need to sleep but i can imagine him also like #doing a warning tail wag. centiskorch also gives me rattlesnake vibes idk why. the firetail end bit is liek the rattle.#shake ur fire around to ward ppl off. yeah.#idk what moves they would Actually have other than larry having facade ofc. i havent thought abt that yet. but im sure you could easily #trade out ur moves as a poke+ as simply as learning how to use it and “forgetting it” like you do in the games.#kabu trades out a move for glare when they go out together. ^_^ anyway gnight

snaek

#snake #this was a BIIIIG SNAEK #Glimmer foind it and yelled and yelled until i came to see what it was #she didnt get close to it tho so im proud of her lol #anyway it slithered off after this so i did not have to try and pick it up and relocate it myself #so all is well #it was soooo mad when it thought i was gonna pick it up it was like #smacking the leaves with its tail like a. rattlesnake. buddy you cannot fool me #i know. what a rattle snake looks like.

I’m part of the weirdo swarm and I’m proud!

…well my family and most of my friends aren’t…

A very soft, very loud rattlesnake plushie! It has two rattles in its tail and fits being curled around my arm perfectly!

I don’t think the pattern was designed with that in mind but it’s definitely a bonus lol

#snake #snake tw #snake plushie #handmade #sewing #plushie #I have a pack of rattle inserts I bought for the pretzel rattle back in the day #and one rattle insert didn’t seem rattlesnake-y enough so I added two #I had the hiccups so bad while sewing the rattle on #and hiccup sounds mixed with rattling sounds (because the force of the hiccup would make me move the rattle)#really made the whole process an unexpected cacophony of sound lol #a few times I had a cough trigger an immediate hiccup while holding the rattle

my freakazoid of a fursona

#raymooart #raymooocs #fursona #furry art #furry #this is actually uhh a censored version there's a freakier version on my evil twt alt #I'm not gonna post that one here bcus tumblr hates me #she's a centipede/wolverine btw #alipes grandidieri to be specific #search it up it's cool as fuck #the 'feathers' at the end of her tail actually work similarly to a rattlesnakes rattle #it's fucking awesome #I love centipedes #anyways I go now #bye byyye

me and my dad got rattled at by a snake today :D

it was so cool

#rattlesnake #fauna #im so happy about this you dont even know #like yeah it was a bit nerve wracking in the moment but we GOT RATTLED AT BY A SNAKE #you dont even understand it was so cool #sounded like sprinklers starting up at first so it took a few seconds and my dad saying 'rattlesnake' for me to get it #up until then I was just wondering why I was hearing sprinklers in a wildlife refuge #it was so cool #FYI there aren't sprinklers in wildlife refuges #if you hear sprinklers no you dont thats a rattlesnake #we saw a really big bird in roughly the same spot last time we went too #not sure why im putting all this in the notes instead of the post itself but I don't feel like rewriting so too bad #might screenshot and reblog
