I know we go back and forth, but i have a little more information.
They are having the BOR meetings here, the biology of the rattlesnakes.
I have attended a few of the afternoon talks, and there are a zillion talks.
A few of the talks were on brooding and social behavior.
To make it quick, as I have to go back to the meetings,
One talk placed cameras and watched females brooding their young, they also had females brooding neonates not their own offspring. They also showed them coiling together, then one leaving, then later the other following the scent trail of the first.
They also had males interact with both the females and neonates.
The great thing about rattlesnakes is, they will do this exposed, mostly in, but at times exposed under the right conditions.
The problem with kingsnakes is, they do this mostly in and out of sight. As I have mentioned, I have watched a few sites where pyros did this semi exposed.
What great about rattlesnakes is, they teach you the sequence. Then you can compare key elements to kingsnakes.
Doing that, FILLS in the gapes far better then, I see nothing, i know nothing. hahahahahahahaha
Later.
