Intelligence in drys mainly observable by watching their reactions when confronted with challenges.
When allowed to roam freely under supervision for exercise, minor barriers, places where two foreign scents may converge, all seem to bring out quick twitches in head movements, start stops-when they make a decision to go certain directions, then change direction abruptly.
The ability to "remember" certain places she may be placed for exercise and avoid areas she didn't have a great deal of fun exploring before, etc.
Then there is the diversity of attacks depending on prey, its size, and degree of movement(I feed stunned-but the nervous reactions are sometimes strong and she will choose different methods of attack.)
Kind of like cobras or mambas if you are familiar.
