Nobody has yet DEFINED domesticated, all the definitions people have been using have been personal definitions.
Domesticated: Converted or adapted to domestic use. (Domestic meaning household, or similar) http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=domesticated
THEREFOR according to the dictionary definition, snakes would be domesticated, because although there have been no large obvious adaptations from their wild counterparts, we have changed them. They do behave differently than they would in the wild (tamed), and also, we have learned how to take care of them. There was a HUGE long topic in a different thread about this, so i will give the link (http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1485047,1485047) so we don't go over the same things twice.
