Do snakes Get bored?

[infernalis]

Not a scientific study at all:

Garter snakes (In captivity) do seem to be more active when there is things to do in the cage.

However, Since it it widely believed that snakes in general cannot form a complex thought process at all anyways, One would be led to believe that they cannot become bored.

In order to become "bored" the snake would need to feel as if it were missing out on something...

haha good point. I know Kaybe enjoys coming out and exploring and sitting on my lap, but when he's in his cage I don't think he's actively thinking "ugh, I'm soooo bored" I think they live more in a moment-to-moment sort of way

sometimes i see my carpet python pressing up against the front of the cage, and if i open it he goes right up my arm. it's apparent that sometimes he wants out weather he's "bored" or not
