ITs easy to see, mammals are (just as an example for comparison) 90% suited to exsist. They come with a heater that keeps them at operating temps. They work in a very narrow zone when it comes to that operating temps.
They come with blankets and hold that heat in, and a body designed to not gain or lose heat, high mass to surface area.
They have instint to some small extent and are educated by the adults, to a high degree.
Snakes, do not have a heater, so they do not just exsist in an envoirnment, the enviornment is PART of their function. They have a high surface area to mass to gain outside heat, and they have behaviors, coil up, to raise or lower that surface area to mass. They also do not have a coat or blanket.
They have a high level of instint and a lower level of learning from the parents.
So we take them out of nature, remember, they are actually part nature as what supports their biology, basic function is the enviornment, take them away from their parents that teach them. WHAT, parents teach them, yup, Well the parents done teach them much, enough to get a head start. You know, put the nest right where conditions are favorible for survival, the right temps, the right moisture, and where the prey is, you know, like a flea laying eggs on a dog. Instead of in a bush or something.
The nest also allows them to "bond" or better yet "fix" or better yet, imprint on a scent that leads them to places of high support. Like where to go when its hot, or cold, or wet, etc. This is what we are currently learning in the field. In short, they depend on eachother, their lives are not random.
So we put them in conditions as soon as they hatch, that pretty much have nothing in common with where they would hatch, we take away all things that would have meaning to them, all scents(constantly washing them away) The scent of the crib(for us) And we wonder why they sometimes do not act right.
What is funny is the extreme ego and narsistic tendencies of people, all of us. If we don't see it, or understand it, it doesn't exsist. hmmmmmmmmmmm
Whats funny is, science never bothered to look at this, heck they never bothered to figure out why snakes have all these scent glands and pits and Jac organs. We found it easier to call what they do, "RANDOM" Which in this case means, I don't know. And worse, I don't care. And thats the point, if you cared, you would look into and figure out the reason for normal snakes to fail. Cheers
