I'd like to see your sources for that statement.

There has been countless studies on mice intelligence. They are very capable problem solvers and are capable of learning tasks. Other closely related species have proven to be megacognitive (rats) and even use tools (Degus). As highly social creatures they have a full emotional spectrum as well.

Snakes are no where even close.

I might be talking out my butt on this one then... I'm not sure to be honest where I got that from. Maybe my stepmom who is absolutely terrified of rodents... I knew Rats were smart.

well, I meant snakes aren't stupid. They're well developed for what they are meant for, but since they aren't domesticated...

Time for more reading.... Bugs can't be the only animal more stupid than a snake...
