Pet Snake's Job is to Sense Owner's Seizures

My friend shared this article with me. I thought it was great! Not sure if there is any scientific truth behind it, but it's pleasant nonetheless :)

Thanks for the read!
I'm not sure how true it is or just a coincidence. It was pretty interesting none the less.

My scepticism senses are tingling.

Whatever is really going on there, glad the snake and the owner are happy with each other.

I believe it. Lots of cats and dogs have this sense as well. Thats pretty amazing!

I'm a little skeptical about training a snake to alert in that fashion, but even more skeptical about training it to go into a carrier in specific circumstances.
That the snake could detect seizures is not surprising, many animals can do that.

Yeah that's what I meant, not sure a snake can be trained the way he is describing. I definitely don't doubt they can sense that. See? Guy could have gotten a service dog, instead, he got a snake...because snakes are awesome :D
