Do reptilian pets recognize certain people, such as their owners? nt

1. Sure, if they bear a strong resemblance to a mealworm. n/t

[RebelOne]

2. Nope. I owned two boa constrictors for years,

and they could care less, but of course, unless you were a rat or a mouse.

4. Do boa's love politicians??

[nolabear]

3. Nah. They like warm, though, which makes us very appealing.

5. Yes, my step-daughter's turtle recognizes her, Laz, and me.

He knows who does what for him. And he still hasn't forgiven me for the way I found him - in the lower back with the weed-whacker after he had just came out of hibernation to munch on the vegetation back there this spring...
(no damage to him other than a few scrapes on the shell, but he still hisses at me and tucks in)
We think he was someone's run-away or got-lost Russian Tortoise from a year or so ago.

7. That's a story concept.

You just pitched a children's book. The run-away turtle.

8. LOL - well, I am a bit of an itinerate graphic artist - I can at least do cartoons...

I used to do some illustration for a friend that self-published children's paper books a long time ago.
I 'spose I can try to write a children's book that doesn't read like Moby Dick...

As individuals, not so much.
