Feb. 13, 2004 — Snakes lead rich social lives and often bond with certain family members, a new study of rattlesnakes suggests.
The research dispels the stereotype of snakes, particularly venomous ones, as antisocial loners. Instead, like humans and many other creatures, snakes seem to benefit from quality time spent with members of their own species.
For the study, the litters of three timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus), born to females caught in the wild, were observed in a laboratory setting.
