Definitely! (missed that one, LOL). My sav will eat 4 mice in one go - taking about a total of 2 minutes - they're funny to watch - the whole rodent goes in and gets swallowed whole with just a bit of tail poking out the side of the mouth for a bit :). Jake's got a video uploaded here somewhere of his sav eating mice - I've got one too but can't find it :/

That may be so. Lol. But I do believe Steve Irwin said that reptiles are loving, affectionate beings and he believed they could. So I guess I am just one of those few that agree with him. Maybe its because I believe that every living creature plant, human, animal (whatever) should all be treated equal.

yeah, my ackie likes gobbling up mouse pinkies and fuzzies too. the only chewing i see him doing is killing roaches, mealworms, or live pinkies. he always swallows the whole thing in one bite though.

ive got a crappy video of my ackie eating a pinkie. the basking light made it turn out really bad. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...h_100_0053.jpg
its pretty old too. ill have to take a new one soon i guess.

I know this movment that people are talking about, it's a response to being touched, like when you touch a dog that doesn't know you are there, they turn around and look to see what it is. It's all a response to touch, I have never heard any one of my snakes laugh anyway.

And its not the “shocked” touch Im talking about. Not like it turns around to see who it is. But Like while your petting your snake and suddenly its coils started to move like ocean waves but yet the snake is not moving anywhere just the coils.

That's the movement I'm talking about, I still think it's a response to being touched.

Sapphire,

There are those of us who believe animals can communicate, can love, have feelings and it's humans who cannot sense them so therefore, they do not exist. (Kinda like Scientists claim there is no God or Goddess - what they can't prove, does not exist)

But... I'm with ya!

and

http://www.timelessspirit.com/SEPT06/cholla.shtml

are two examples (not of snakes but of horses) - some people say it's false, and others understand and see differently. they use other senses that simply the usual smell, taste, touch etc.

Well then I disagree with him (Rest in Peace)

To each their own though...

Thanks for the sites. I found them very interesting. Makes me want a horse again, lol. I remember my Mom always talking about her horse Chestnut back when she was younger and now it just makes me want one again, like when I was younger, lol. And some people can be so arrogant. :sighs:

I have yet to see a scientific argument published in a scientific journal that cliams that there is no God........The question is not part of the realm of science. Individual scientists may think what they wish but their thinking on the matter isnt part of empirical science.
