Snakes/Reptiles and their Emotions The argument

[j_h_smith]

I'm always intrigued by these kind of arguments.

But even so, I do not feel that emotions are applicable to reptiles based on their behavior. Why would they need them? Reptiles do not bond to mates, they do not form friendships, a very high percentage of them are not maternal..

Ever try to reach in to grab a newly laid clutch of eggs while the mom is wrapped around these eggs? I do believe there is a maternal instinct there to be sure.

Just an observation!
