Re: Best Snake Pets: what are your opinions?

See, this is where I cannot wrap my head around this.

I never said reptiles lacked intelligence, Quite to opposite actually.

When you say "tame" it immediatly makes me think of a dog or a cat who will claw or bark at the front door to be let in.

Can't think of one documented case in history where any reptile begged to be let back in the house.

I would love nothing more than to place a neonate carpet python in a 20x20 foot room, heated to an average of 100 degrees, with a HOT basking spot and see how a carpet python behaves when given a captive environment that 100% mimics it's natural environment.

I think you will find that it's behaviour would be more in "tune" with the wild counterpart.
