I personally think some credit needs to be given to boomslangs. I've had adults and juveniles, and have 3 juveniles I'm currently working with now in hopes of raising them, and they've struck me unlike no other (in the metaphorical sense, thankfully). I've yet to have any other snake that would take such a keen interest in my activity in the herp room, the way my big male used to sit on his branch and watch me or whoever else in the room was very interesting, and tended to creep out my friends a little. As big as their eyes are and as much as they rely on their vision for hunting and predator detection, I would think that their brains, at least the visual cortex, would probably be more developed than many other snakes. They're unique, whatever they are.
