So, we shouldn't be surprised when they fail to recognize us visually.
    Also, there's no reason to think that all 3000+ species of snakes that differ widely in their methods of survival are all going to have the same sort of visual ability. I think it's more likely that active diurnal hunters will have superior vision to nocturnal ambush-predators, but I don't don't know that for a fact, only that it seems that way to me, from what I've kept.
