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.

UPDATE: it’s 2016 and I’m pleased to announce that he’s FINALLY gotten over his fear of the stapler!

image

He likes it now!

UPDATE: it’s 2018 and I took him into school as a demo animal for the class I teach.

Look what he found.
