Hi Rainer, actually its ethology, with ethology, traits are traits, it doesn't matter what kind of animal it is.
To be social is both inherent and learned. Take any social animal and raise in solitarily and it will have a hard time in a society. This is well known with people and many other kinds of animals.
While people are so smart, or think they are smart, they forget/ignore or dismiss the learning part. Simply put, humans and animals(snakes) must learn how to be social.
Ethology is very loose compared to a hard science. So if you take social, it means living working, existing in groups. It also includes, anti-social with the same animals. Social means, some are in, and some are out. All social species, expel members of its own species from their social groups.
So, what we have is social grouping, and its not about the animals. With some groups, its about control. And I am sure from what I know about you, you fight for freedom, that you understand how we as a society are loosing control. On a daily basis. So what we have here are control freaks(no blame, just is) They can have total control over an animal. And they do. To a point of taking everything and I mean everything natural to the animal away. If you take the standard rack system set up, a plastic cage, totally foreign to snakes in nature. Paper towels, a plastic hide, a water bowl. Non of that has a thing to do with snakes, none, zero, not even close. They strip the animal of all natural behaviors, take away any choices the animal can make. They say how wonderful their husbandry is.
IF you step bask and look at this without bias, the rack system and how a snake lives in nature, are polar opposites. They have nothing to do with eachother. Nothing.
The more are freedoms are taken away, the more folks want to gain control over something else. Sadly these snakes are the victums.
