Reptillian Theories

I think you seem to have missed that second part of Aaron's post, where he called for citation. Thank you Rob for at least a cursory search.

Now then, to dispel the conjectural 'evidence' so far presented simply replace the word "snake" or "reptile" with "2 year old child".

Do you have kids?

I think the problem with your idea of using a 2 year old child as an example of mental capacity is simply that a child can and does learn. A snake does not develop further.

Also, I have a 5 year old daughter. When she was 2 I could tell her to stay in the living room with her toys while I jumped in the shower for 3 - 5 minutes. She'd listen. A reptile, would not.

Ok then replace it with "16 year old child" then. My point was that this is again nothing more than conjecture and proves nothing other than opinions.

And yes, I have children.

I dunno if a 16 year old would be any better...

I prefer to think that my snakes are emotionless because it's easier for me to toss them in the freezer when they get the sniffles.

I like to think they have emotions. I also like to imagine the abject terror they feel when I toss them in the freezer. I pretend I can hear their screams. It also makes watching them breed more fun!

Awesome... Your forgetting about the look of terror in their eyes when you make the other snakes watch.
