BP Intelligence?

[theJuju]

Anyone have any idea of what kind of intelligence ball pythons have?

In comparison to my boa, my BP seems to lack in the smarts department a little bit. He tends to notice only movements, but my boa looks right into my eyes. Plus my ball python doesn't seem to get the concept of gravity.

Any thoughts?

Rest assured that ball pythons and boas are EQUALLY dim animals, and that neither understands the concept of gravity.

Not sure on intellegence as we know it as related to any animal lacking in the frontal cortex area of the brain but they definately have instinct on their side. As far as not getting the concept of gravity its probably because ball pythons arent arboreal snakes and therefore dont do much climbing and they arent as nimble as arboreal snakes so yes they tend to fall if placed up high. Maybe you should administer an IQ test and find out.

snakes in general share the same intelligence, they are designed to eat and breed. thats about it.

Im fairly certain pit vipers are the most evolved group of snakes therefore leading me to assume they would also be considered the smartest.

i hear what your saying about pit vipers,,they always seem like there thinking about something,,, but i think that its just the way their eyes look that gives us this impression. as with any other snake, their brains are just big enough not to slide down the back of their neck.
