The problem that I see is people just living a fact driven life instead of making your own hypothesis running your own experiment and forming your own conclusion. and theres also an article on here that I think everyone should go and read thats showing that there trying to see if reptiles in genereal have more intelligence than everyone thought. I dont like people who live by just "fact" that requires no abstract thought or imagination. So my conclusion from me being with my snake is I know my snake loves me. It wont act with my roomates or anyone else (who doesnt take care of it) like it acts with me. My snake got use to what I do with it. When I take it out I always put it in a hat or my pocket and when I first got it it didnt want to go in cause obviously it was scared but now it knows if I go into this hat hes gunna put me in his hoodie pocket and its going to be really warm. When i clean her enclosure and put her on the floor and im walking back and forth to the sink, it watches me walk back and forth and if im out of the room itll start slithering out and when im walking back in you can see her following me with her eyes tongue out tasting the air happy as can be and she turns around and comes back in the room.
Heres my last point if it recognizes my smell it recognizes me because I am my smell. And a snake can feel a kiss from vibrations, In the wild in can feel vibrations from a hawk flapping its wings to come eat it.
So my conclusion from my Hypothesis and living the experiment is my snake loves me and its ignorance and being a sheep to not think abstractly or even give it a thought that they might.
