Snakes and Memory
I was feeding the other day and my male Red tail was in the feed box. There's a hole on one side that he's discovered he can get out with.
I figure they aren't in there for very long, so the hole is no big deal.
I had turned the lid around so that the hole was on the opposite side. He kept nosing and pushing on the side that used to have the hole and eventually found it in the wrong spot.
How much memory do these guys have? I never thought they had much more than what they needed, but his demonstration got me thinking.
