Re: memory
Snake remember trust me on this. I had a baby Retic that i had for two month's never once struck or bit. Then one day i dropped him on the floor. After that any time i got near him he strike or bite me. I got nailed in the nose three times by him. Anyone else could pick him up and handle him no problem as long as i wasn't in the room. So i finally found him a new home.
Ten years go by and i run into the guy i gave him to. He asked if i want to stop by and see him. Said he had never once struck or bit in the whole time he had him. As soon has i walked into his snake room it struck at the glass so hard in almost broke it. There's no doubt in my mind that dam snake remembered me.

I would have to agree, considering it's obvious to any passionate pet owner, that their animal is awake. By that I mean yes, they have a conscience, they have a memory, and they definitely have feelings! Not even two years ago I got my first BP, and to date I would say there's a definite connection. For example... If I'm gone for 1, 2 or 3 weeks, upon my return his reaction is one of the most adorable things you could imagine a snake doing. There's excitement, cuddles, and even kisses! Every one of my BP's has developed their own unique persona, and are recognizable through certain traits. So for you (Snake Man12) to say they don't have a memory, and react purely based off natural instinct is ludicrous. Because that means every BP would/should react the same way to the same movement, every time. They don't. Which means...?

Reason: Had to fix who I was addressing in the last couple sentences. It was out of context.

A snake can't feel emotion, a snake can't have a memory like us humans understand they simply can recognize certain attributes and react accordingly.
If you think my post was ludicrous please read the section of your post about you snake having "feelings".

Re: memory
I'm not saying they can love and all of that, I'm just saying that they have a RANGE of emotions, just maybe not as in depth as ours. But it IS emotion.

Re: memory
Nope not emotion.
an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness. from Emotion | Define Emotion at Dictionary.com

Re: memory
The 'I don't accept wikipedia sources' sounds just like some of my old teachers... And probably some of my future teachers!
Anyways, saying that they have no memory, no ability to feel emotions, etc, and only rely on pure instinct would mean that they all react the same to things because they all have the same instincts(within their species), but that's not true.

Re: memory
No they act accordingly do the present stimuli. The reason I don't like wikipedia is anyone can edit those wiki's.
