I feel like that with snakes, people associate a snake's eye movements, and general activity level in the presence of humans, with intelligence. While I do think that retics tend to be a bit 'brighter,' I think its more that they make associations quickly, and have a better sense of 'cunning' than other snakes. Looking into a retics eyes always freaks me out a little, it does seem like they are calculating their next move.
