I’m trying to find some recent, educational documentaries on snakes in general, and it’s like:

WORLD’S DEADLIEST SNAKES

THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS SNAKE ON THE EARTH

THE DEADLY GIANT SNAKE

THE MOST VENOMOUS SNAKE IN THE WORLD

THE VALLEY OF SNAKES AND FEAR

AFRICA’S MOST DEADLY SNAKE, THE BLACK MAMBA – WHICH WE HAVEN’T EVEN USED AS OUR COVER IMAGE – BUT THAT’S DEFINITELY A BLACK SNAKE

THIRTY-FOUR WAYS BALL PYTHONS WILL KILL YOU WITH THEIR BARE HANDS

DO YOU LIVE ON EARTH? ARE YOU AWARE OF SNAKES? WELL, THERE’S PROBABLY VENOM IN YOUR MORNING COFFEE

The ongoing saga of Harker and the stapler

My ball python, Harker, is really scared of this one stapler.

image

Every time he sees it, he balls up.

image

I was grading today and sure enough, the stapler was still scary.

image

However, for the first time, I introduced a second stapler!

He was nervous at first… 

image

But it didn’t take him long to warm up to it.

image

Pretty soon it became his best friend!

image

There was nothing the new stapler couldn’t do!

image

Including protecting him from the other stapler.

image

The moral of the story?

My snake is a weirdo.

Update: Today I took Harker to my office, where he met another stapler.

image

He was fairly apathetic at first, but eventually they got on pretty well!

image

This stapler was smaller than either of the others, but one thing was sure: this stapler was definitely not scary!

image

Am I any closer to understanding my snake’s strange relationship with staplers?

image

Absolutely not.
