Now is this for all snakes? Do they all have equal mental capacity? I know that with fish there are some which can recognize a person across a room from a tank, whether it is due to better eyes or bigger brain I don't know, (or maybe it is just the ideas of those hopefully fish owners thinking their animals are the smartest things in the world!). On the other hand, there are lots of fish that are just mindless zombies and don't seem to grasp anything.
Do we know of differences in intelligence with snakes? Might some know who you are eventually?
