I don't trust anything from a zoo keeper. Especially with reptiles. I can run circles around most of them.
Besides, my snake randomly slithers to the open side of the tub. I stroke it's back and don't get bit. I'm sure that quantifies everything anyone has ever said about them seeking affection. It's now scientific FACT. BOOM! I just blew everyone's mind. Where's my nobel prize?
