I have heard all sorts of stories from family and friends that live in earthquake prone areas about their animals acting really strange prior to earthquakes, but the animals are also mammals. I am not sure How different their sensitivity is to earthquakes compared to reptiles.

But if they could prove that these snakes or other snakes could possibly predict an earthquake that early it would make a world of difference for those that live in earthquake prone areas.

Earthquakes and other natural disaters make me feel so fortunate to live in North Idaho. Although we are not at major risk there is still some. There is a dormant fault line here, Mt. St Helens, Mt. Ranier and Yellowstone. Mt St. Helens being the biggest threat to my area.
