reverend...never did i say that snakes comprehend..you said animals..which animals are you referring to? because dogs do in fact comprehend some things, anyways yes snakes probably dont...but they become lazy animals in captivity...which proves my point that they dont reach their full potential in their life span as they would in the wild..i am not saying they comprehend that...but it doesnt make it that much better, right? i think we as humans with a concious mind CAN comprehend that they dont reach their full potential due to our own interests
