Cornsnake Intelligence Study - pretty interesting..

[ronlina]

I put this in behavior because I figured that Intelligence is linked to behavior.

It's an article about a study done with corns and intelligence, it's really pretty interesting.

(...but of course we all knew corns are smart- just one escape is all we need to know about their tricks.. )

lol thanks so much. One of my roommates was trying to tell me that her bunnies were smarter than snakes because of mazes and crap.

It must have been fun working with all those snakes! thanx for the article! i bet snakes are smart in all kinds of ways we have not identified yet...

I enjoyed reading that, thanks.

'Teaching' a nocturnal snake to avoid bright light is a bit like 'teaching' it to fall in the direction gravity pulls it. The expected response might not be ~quite~ as universal... But I'll bet it's close.

I love corn snakes and find them very full of personality. But they aren't winning any IQ comparisons around here.

That said, my snakes interact with me in ways my meeces never did.
You just can't compare apples with oranges, reptiles with mammals.

Then again, what the hell do I know?
At least that scientist tests his theories... I just post mine on the Internet...
