Re: Snakes ARE affectionate
It is amazing how many experts we have on here that know so much more than actual scientists. As prairie panda discovered the general consensus among the scientific community is that we have very little understanding about the snake brain. When I was in college 10 years ago for my organismal biology degree, I worked with a professor named Steven Mackessy. His focus was in venomous snakes. Even way back then they were questioning our understanding of the reptile brain. Trust me I understand "peer reviewed papers" just fine, and have read more in my four years in school than most read in a life time. I wish I could have gone into the biology field but unfortunately there was not enough money in it to pay off my school dept. I am not sure where most of you got your information but I can tell you most of what you are basing your opinions on is out dated by at least 20 years. Derek from your responses I put you some where around high school or below, and those text books are more often out dated by 30 years or more. Snakes being creatures of entirely instinct is equivalent to the all snakes being "poisonous" of the past. Functions of public perception not real science.
