An Indigo and Her Pepsi Bottle

nevermore Oct 23, 2004 04:27 AM

So the other day, I was sitting with Lenore (my 3 month old Eastern) and she crawled on to my table to explore. There was a Pepsi bottle sitting on its side. She nudged it. It rolled. She nudged it again. It rolled again. And then she just kept up with the bottle rolling it down the table. When I grabbed the bottle and put it, and her, back in the middle of the table she began again. I realize that she was probably just trying to burrow under the object and not “playing” in the sense a mammal or bird might…but it was still pretty endearing to see a little Indigo rolling a bottle down a table…

One female Eastern Indigo. That's right, just one snake. But she's my dream-snake, so back off man.

See, this is just further proof of the superior intelligence of these snakes. Even they know that Pepsi sux & she was merely trying to push it off of the table. Give that poor girl a Coke!

Funny you should say that as I was just reading my Indigo Booklet and Krown said thay indies would play with stuff kind of like a dog or cat. I've never witnessed it, but hmmmm...

Maybe I'll throw one of my cats' jingle balls into my erebennus cage??

Yeah...I just got mine yesterday and read that same part last night...vindicating my observation

Though...for more scientifically accurate data I'll Have to test the variables of Diet Pepsi, Wild Cherry Pepsi, and (do I dare) Clear Pepsi bottles...

No...I don't have a clear Pepsi bottle. But if I was going to do a scientific study of what colas an indigo will push...then I could apply for a grant, so I could afford purchasing one off of E-Bay.
