Great point as usual, I am glad you brought that up. Because its very true. That is what amazes me about them, they are very very secretive, and they are the ultimate survivor and predator. But they are also prey, and so they need to balance the spectrum, pretty impressive if you ask me. Perhaps my female is taking her survival to the next level. I found I enjoyed the flipping rocks and boards when I was younger out catching the snakes, but that wears off and it becomes more fun to just observe. They are so entertaining and interesting when they aren't trying to escape and defend themselves. But even still, your probably right, there will be things we just can never know about them, and that's one reason that keeps me in this hobby.
