I don't discount the whole bonding thing but what I'm curious about do they do it because they want to or because they have to? One thing that seemed to run in your examples are species that live in more arid climates. How do more tropical climes effect this? When you have snakes that don't den How is bonding then observed? With that said who cares?... In regards to captivity that is. Yes I like to learn about the natural history and behaviors of various animals but it doesn't effect my house. You can't make mother nature in your house. You can make half ass copies but all the nuances of nature can't be reproduced to anything near the real deal. My point is bonding in captivity is about as natural as a red ear slider stalking and eating turtle sticks in a fish tank. This applies to anyway you keep your stuff it's just a crude ripoff. None of us keep snakes because it's good for the snakes we keep them for our own selfish reasons.
