>>Some like to catch them; some like to breed them; some like to look at them. I like to study & interact with them to determine for myself the range of their emotions & intelligence.

>>I know that I'm a Card with a unique style, and that some feel that I should be "dealt with", but hopefully I'll provide some uncommon amusement & character to discussions & debates.

Scientists have studied brain structures from human to insect. Just like they can tell by the structure of an eye whether it can see color or not they can tell by the structure of a brain basicaly what the capacity of that brain is.

Snake brains simply do not have the capacity to "like" "dislike" "enjoy" "be happy" "be sad"

They seek food, they seek a mate when the time is right, they seek shelter and they seek proper temperatures to thermoregulate their temperatures as they are cold blooded.

The fact that snakes gather in the same area simply means the conditions in that area are optimum for their survival. It does not mean they are there hanging out with their "peeps"
