Pet Snake's Job is to Sense Owner's Seizures

My friend shared this article with me. I thought it was great! Not sure if there is any scientific truth behind it, but it's pleasant nonetheless

Thanks for the read!
I'm not sure how true it is or just a coincidence. It was pretty interesting none the less.

My scepticism senses are tingling.

Whatever is really going on there, glad the snake and the owner are happy with each other.

I believe it. Lots of cats and dogs have this sense as well. Thats pretty amazing!

I'm a little skeptical about training a snake to alert in that fashion, but even more skeptical about training it to go into a carrier in specific circumstances.
That the snake could detect seizures is not surprising, many animals can do that.

Yeah that's what I meant, not sure a snake can be trained the way he is describing. I definitely don't doubt they can sense that. See? Guy could have gotten a service dog, instead, he got a snake...because snakes are awesome
