You do not have to be frozen. You have to be peaceful. They feel your fears and only see your eyes. eye contact is so important to them. You stare at them and it scares the peawater out of them. Look up Jane Goodalls work. Its not good to stare a chimp in the eyes, unless you want bad things to happen, To look away, indicates trust. This goes for most animals including snakes and lizards. ALso do not think about the animals your watching. Make it not important.
The work Melissa is doing, I have been doing since before she was born. What she did attempt to do, which far surpassed us, was, she attempted to fight the system and run it thru academia, She lost, but she got fairly far. The university mandated that she do bloodwork to id the animals, which was against the principle of, non interference. So they beat her into submission by holding back her masters until she did bloodwork.(as told to me by others) and attending a few of her talks.

So tell my again, how limited are snake brains? I can say, they do not manufacture cars or anything, but they do what they do far past our ability to comprehend. Seemingly, they social system is too complicated to fit our simple models. So we say, they are not social. That makes me laugh
