Hello all,
I had a behavioral question pertaining to snakes in general and Ball Pythons in particular.As I have stated in my previous posts I have three Ball Pythons.Now two of them are very docile and gentle - but one of them has a more aggressive and high strung temperment.What I was wondering is that is it really ever possible to tame a snake? sometimes I notice that when I do not handle my pythons everyday a little they seem to regress some...not vicious behavior, but they revert to being headshy a bit.Now we all know that these animals are not exactly mental giants and that their brain functioning is probably quite simple and primitive.Do any of you think that snakes have the capacity for learning any form of behavior or perhaps recognizing the smell of their keeper? I hope that these are not stupid questions...I have just been doing a lot of studying and observation of my snakes the last year and this was a topic I have been pondering the last few weeks.
