well animals are one thing, reptiles are another entirely. i don't think they have the brain power or the motivation be domesticated. imagine trying to get your snake to come when called, or to fetch your slippers. not gonna happen. heck half of us can barely get them to eat regularly. and most training is based on some kind of reward system. how do you reward a snake? how do you teach a snake? i submit that except under the simplest pavlovian system that a snake is untrainable. they are too unpredictable, think of the ppl that handle "hot" snakes. they'll go for 30 years and have no problems, and then BAM get bit. why? who knows. they are snakes.
