(As a child in the 1950s, he got his start with dime-store turtles and lizards.)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_snakes_bond_with_their_owners\"><\/span>Do snakes bond with their owners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Snakes and other reptiles are <b>generally not affectionate to humans.

You can encourage a bond with your snake by handling them at the right time and in the right way, associating yourself with good things, and recognizing the signs that a bond is developing.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_snakes_loyal\"><\/span>Are snakes loyal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Recognition is the easy part, but don&#8217;t expect a snake to love you or care about you. Snake brains lack the frontal lobe that is capable of emotions. They simply act on instinct. <b>Snakes do recognise their owners but not in the same way dogs or cats do.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents What owning a snake says about you?What does owning a reptile say about you?Are snakes loyal to their owners?Are snakes affectionate to their owners?Do snakes recognize their owners?Do snakes show affection to owners?Is it a good idea to own a snake?What does having a pet say about you?Why do people like reptiles&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97029"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97029\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
