Thanks for the input! Yes, I've heard that King Cobras are the kings when it comes to intelligence as well. Apparently it's because they exhibit behaviours that are not seen in any other snakes, such as building nests to lay eggs in. They also appear to have a more advanced ability of understanding what's going on—their keepers report that they can clearly differentiate between feeding, cleaning, and handling time, and can recognize their handlers over other people.
From the videos I've seen, I would also agree that you can practically see the retic gears turning when they are investigating their surroundings.
LOL poor ATBs! At least they're pretty![]()
