Re: help settle a debate. do snakes have personalities?
He's correct.
Look up "Anthropomorphism".
You show classic symptoms.
Sorry.....

Re: help settle a debate. do snakes have personalities?
It's sort of a pointless discussion, because there's no way to know what's going inside the mind/brain of a snake. Anyone with a strong opinion that snakes operate "only on instinct" is being silly, because again, there's no way to know. Being blindly anti-anthropomorphic might be just as silly as being blindly anthropomorphic. What exactly does that mean anyway, acting "only on instinct?" I have an indigo snake, and for what it's worth, I feel very confident he "knows" me very well and can recognize me. And I'm also of the opinion that there is a lot more going on in the minds of snakes (as well as most other animals) than we humans believe. Can I prove that? No. Just my feeling based on personal experience.
thanks,
Ed

Duh, if they cannot think, then the whole scent conditioning scheme is a hoax

Re: help settle a debate. do snakes have personalities?
Thats why its called a debate nat. In the back ground right now i here ppl on tv talking about the zillion billion millions of galaxys there are and how many billions of light years they are away from us, and the chances of life on other planets...most of it is built on theory. They debate to ponder and learn new things they havent though of before. so it may be a pointless unprovable topic to you but i enjoy hearing the ideas and opinions of others. hence why i joined a forum.
@ infern, Just a guy named mike that lives a couple miles away from me.

this place is just odd. you give advice or correct misinformation and people jump your a$$! you either get called mean or a know-it-all. trust me, i'd love to be a know-it-all!!!! and now there's one member here who basically wants you to post your entire god damn resume with every single post.
