I like to think they have emotions. I also like to imagine the abject terror they feel when I toss them in the freezer. I pretend I can hear their screams. It also makes watching them breed more fun!

Awesome... Your forgetting about the look of terror in their eyes when you make the other snakes watch.

Re: Reptillian Theories
They are cold blooded, unfeeling creatures. They only live to eat, reproduce, and make messes for me to clean up. Just like my first wife. lol
But seriously all i am to my snakes is the person that cleans there cage, waters and feeds them. They don't love me they could care less about me. Anyone could take care of them. If i am handling them and they wrap around me it for heat, or to keep from falling, or maybe protection.
I have had friends over and they will be holding my snakes and certain snakes will climb from them back to me every time. Does this mean they love me? Hell no. It just means they associate me with being safe. They are out and moving around they're people they don't know, so to them i am like a safe hide. Nothing more! They know i won't hurt them and will put them back in their cage where it's safe.

Ditto. They do not show love or affection in any way. In reality, neither do any reptiles. ANything can be traced back to instinctual behavior.

Of course not ... what person with any intelligence is going to waste time finding out if snakes "love". The answer is no.. they do not.

I was hoping as a group we could find some information. Wayne said it best that nobody tests for "love" but I have a small lead on some brain activity of reptiles.
That's probably where to look. Not emotion but brain activity.
I am looking for the information so whenever this comes up I can post it so as to have some credit to what I'm saying.

Lets do one better to conclusive prove that snakes have emotions.... particularly the emotion of snakes "loving" their keepers.
Let's all take are snakes out into a suitable environment for them to thrive in and set them free...
afterall if you love something then set it free, if it comes back it loves you back... doesn't it?
We can all convene in a month to discuss our findings... we can not prove this without proper experimentation and proper statistical data to back us up?
Who's with me on this?

If that were even remotely true Kat, we would all still believe the earth was flat. A person of intelligence would not be so sure of something without first having researched it. Hence the original point of this thread...

Re: Reptillian Theories
Why is this important? Because someone is annoying? I believe the same as most of you, I just don't think it's important enough to give this much thought. If you have to start a concerted effort to track down information, and you don't have any luck... hello.

1) This is a reptile forum for discussing reptiles. That's what this is.
2) Infernalis put this nicely: http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/788011-post19.html
