when I house snakes together, I attempt to provide multiple possibilities of similar quality to get their needs met
it seems that some snakes like to hang out together more than others and that preferences may change
I don't really hold with that christian idea of the sharp dividing line between man and beast such that we have all the mind and emotion and they are mere lumps of flesh driven by impulses
it's all along a continuum and I don't imagine that what they experience and how they process it, has any remote resemblance to what I experience etcetera
however I don't see why it would be impossible for them to have social inclinations any more than that ours are entirely rooted in ancient survival needs
