I think scent plays a large role in there intelligence. Last night I took Val over to my dads and she was flicking and exploring like crazy, periscoping and flicking non-stop. Eventually she settled down but she was definitely taking in her new surroundings.

p.s. so funny my dad has been terrified of snakes his whole life but is interested in her and likes visits...when I went to walk home (he lives in a cabin beside us) I started to tuck her in my robe and my dad was freaking haha he was like "don't do that, she's going to bite you!!!" His fear is still there.
