    I'm a little skeptical but it's a great story. I'd be interested to see more information on this.

    I believe they can sense it, change in blood pressure and all, other animals can why not snakes. But the signal by squeezing his neck and then jumping into a bag I gotta see it.

    x2 I find it a little farfetched. I love my bp and Ive heard alot of people say boas are even smarter/more aware but I dont know if it being trained to go into the bag is possible...

    It is possible, perhaps not to train the snake specifically, but if it knew the bag was a safe place to be when the siezure started wouldn't it go there? I mean seriously, in the wild isn't that the same behaviour in the event of an earthquake? Doesn't really seem that far fetched. I have only had my Ball for about a month and can already tell by her actions what she wants.
