    Haven't done the vitamins yet, but I haven't seen him do it lately. Good sign I guess.

    Re: Twitching/Flinching?

    i just got home late tonivht and saw one of my babies doing the same head movement thing. i was really worried at first as she/he was the only snake out. then i realized she was asleep, after picking her up she returned to normal and slithered into the hide. if i had to bet, i would put money on snakes having dreams.

    I think so too. Willow has done that before, she looked like she was shaking her head no. She was asleep, and like you said once picked up she stopped. I think their mental capacity is underestimated. They are a constant source of wonder for me and my family.

    For being the most studied snake in the world, there is so much we still don't know about these wonderful animals.
    I believe they are more intelligent then they are given credit for.
    I'm just glad that my mother put one in my hand 48 years ago. Thanks Mom.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I have always believed that they are smarter than people make them out to be. I don't see how someone can just look at a garter and say "it doesn't have feelings, it doesn't understand this, it's a breeding and eating machine and nothing more."
