Interesting subject ay
i was trying to imagine what a python is thinking when we handle them or interact with them I know that snake can have meny personalities but can they be changed and if so this would raise the question are they smarter then we think
see what I getting at is when you get baby reptiles they can be scared of us interacting with us but as thay get older and and use to us interacting with them some do calm down is this due to them realising that we mean no harm to them and thas them not use ing the fight or flight response towards us
becouse to me this would be a learned thing I know some kittens my also do this but soon become to love there owners could this be the same with snakes.
interesting to note that my bredli dose not mind being handled at all and is only to happy to sit coiled up on my lap for hours at a time and or tho some may say this is not handling it still is interacting and is some thing a wild snake would never do
i know that dog and cats and other farm animals would have been like this to before domestication so my question is this will we see a point in time were captive snake get domesticated. If not. Is there some limiting factor that will not allow this to happen.
another thing to think about what if any thing dose a snake that is happy to just sit or be handled think of us could thay enjoy the time with us after all there very inquisitive
are thay more intelligent then we make them out to be. And is there some sort of bond between a snake and its owner from the snakes prospective.
