Re: Woma intelligence
Yeah, both Aspidities are awesome snakes.
BHPs seem to be even more in tune with their surroundings a little more than the Womas. Maybe because they're at a higher level on the food chain than the womas?
Given the type of animals they are by nature. It would makes sense that they are much more aware of things in their daily lives, based out of instinct.
For example, A carpet python is an ambush predator. It for the most part sits and waits until a prey item becomes close enough for a meal. My carpets will stand guard at their water bowls knowing that prey needs water and will come drink. If they don't have too, they won't wander too far from a reliable food source.
BHP and Womas on the other hand are active hunters and, are out in the open most of their lives looking for food. They have a lot more opportunities for being prey'd on themselves or other encounters that another species might not ever get because of its instincts.
This makes Aspidities much more in tune with what is happening around them than an animal that lives under "cover and ambush".
I love working with them. I mean, I still have some carpet pythons and a few other species but, if I could only keep one group... it would be Aspidities. Hands down.
