You don't have to go very far to convince me, JodanOrNoDan, as I'm a very interactive snake-gal. I've no plans to breed any more snakes though. In the
past I never tried to interact with snakes hatching out, though they certainly saw me around. Even though snakes in nature (with perhaps a few exceptions
that we know of) get no parental attention, it still makes perfect sense to me that "first impressions" count. Snakes that survive have to learn their way around
& remember...it's only logical that they learn from whatever's in their environment, and just because no one can prove their brain structures are adequate for
doing so does not convince me otherwise...we just don't know it all yet. I've known many snakes over a lotta years, plenty with attitudes...there ARE ways to
communicate with snakes, to let them know they're safe with us. And since that reduces their stress, they live longer healthier lives & are better pets too.
Anyway, I look forward to reading about all your experiences & hope others will also keep an open mind.
