Perfect situation Lisa,very cute :-)
They can't really smile, but it was very calm at this point. When handled gently, they usually calm down pretty quickly. Of course we never handle a venomous snake in this manner. We have special equipment that protects both ourselves and the snake from harm.
It looks like the snake is smiling
