Not biting....I deal with patients everyday that find "interesting" things online.....trust me, it doesn't make them correct (WebMD, Dr. Oz, etc)...

Sophie, I like your "stick-to-itiveness"....It's obvious that you care about your animals. And from that position, you have made observations and drawn conclusions without actual testing. That's ok...most people won't...but it's simply an opinion. That's cool...I've got opinions and beliefs that some folks here would think ludicrous. They're real to me, but UN-provable scientifically, and I get that.

Enjoy your snakes, take them to a movie, have tea w them...whatever. It's all good...just from a purely neuroanatomical position, having learned in medical school (ok...waaaay back in the 90's) how complex emotions are formed (love) and how primitive emotions are formed (fear, hunger), Snakes just do not possess the structures or pathways (at least in most recognized forms) to achieve those complex emotions.

So, in closing, welcome to sSNAKESs
I have a feeling we'll be chatting again!
