Neither just not too smart LOL
Snakes are creatures of pure instinct & some lack any "smarts" so too speak.
I have snakes such as my Eastern Indigos or Diamond Pythons that will fly right at you but know what is & is not prey right away & will stop their strike or let go right away.
Then there are snakes like Cal Kings LOL that once they have it in their head its food tehy do not give up.
I have kept/bred numerous CKs a CK being my first snake ever.
I have had them try to eat numerous things LOL
Tubs, hides, water dishes, papertowels (had one eat & pass one before LOL, blue poop that when pulled apart was a sheet of shop towel LOL), fingers, hands, arms, their mates, themselves, you name it LOL
Not to say thye are dumb, but once the instinct kicks in there is no turning back with some of them LOL (some of my Womas are the same thing DOH!)
