Can snakes be mentally handicapped?

[Salamander Rising]

Its possible but i think it probably just gets a little over excited. I have a female ball that closes her mouth when she strikes and almost tries to club the mouse to death against the side of her tub with her head. She eates great and hasnt had anything else abnormal about her. Different snakes have different quirks. Just like people.

I know it's not really funny but you guys have me LMAO........

I thought Iggy was an oddball for eating her mouse babies backwards and always making sure to swing her head towards me so I'd have a nice, clear view of the poor baby mouse's face staring at me from inside her mouth, just before it disappeared forever.

[it looked like some sort of "veiled threat"]

Now that she eats adult mice, she's being [somewhat] more "normal".
