"Also, a snake couldn't see an airplane, eyes are not that good".

I must say this is ABSOLUTELY bogus. I once, nearly 20 years ago, had a young savannah monitor I would take out to the back yard to walk around and explore. SEVERAL times I observed him cock his head to the side and look up as an airplane and/or bird would fly past high overhead. Impossible to know what he was thinking each and every time, but I know without a doubt, he could at least can see the movement even though it was a very small object. Just an observation.

Point being, don't underestimate what's going on in those tiny, little pea brains of theirs. There are definitely little gears turning inside.
