    lol you are over analyzing it. It means

    "hey i'm a snake."

    "hey I'm a snake too."

    end of conversation.

    lol!

    I think it's certainly possible, but I think if they did it to communicate, it would have to be their version of IFF. "Don't panic, I'm mostly harmless."

    Hmmmm....didn't really notice any of the "head bobbing" when I bred my thayeri last year. But then there wasn't a whole lot of formality in that, the male just went right after the female after he picked up her scent. He did the twitchy, rubby thing when he caught up with her, like all snakes seem to do when courting, but it was very different from the bobbing thing I see in the garters.

    Do we know how good their eyesight is/if they can see colors/etc?

    Raven watches me all the time, I'd always assumed she could see me pretty well.
