You have done extensive research on a snakes brain? Please post your proof. Do you have a degree? No. I didn't think so. I don't have to make you look stupid, you're doing that fine by yourself. Studies have been done on snakes for years. In fact I have a snake that was born without any eyes. He hunts just like other balls. With heat pits and sense of smell. I'm sure I could hand feed him without getting bit. But all it takes is a misjudgment on his part to nail my hand. That's what you're not understanding. My nephew comment wasn't to be taken as.witty. He understands how they hunt, you clearly don't. There is a reason you don't see snakes starring in movies like horses, dogs, cats and like other animals which have the ability to learn complex tasks. I'm not saying they can't learn simple tasks.
Try this. Heat up a rat then rub it on your hand and put it in your snakes tank and wave your hand. Record this and you'll prove my point.
