The Ball Python Cuddling
Manage episode 451541834 series 3571447
In this short episode, Chris, Cassie, and George discuss the paper Intense Sociability in a “Non-Social” Snake (Python regius), recently published in the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology. They discuss the research, its meaning, and its potential implications. This research suggests that we may have been missing a significant aspect of these snakes' lives because of human bias. They also call for all reptile keepers to keep an open mind as new research is released and to avoid a dogmatic attachment to old ideas.
