Male garter snake "castration" by cranial invasive surgery?

[ConcinusMan]

That's my point. I had no idea about the existence of this gland they are speaking of. (Harderian gland) and yet it's the largest gland in their head? I know about the most commonly discussed glands. I simply assumed that the jacobson's organ picked up pheremones and passed them onto the brain. That is an incorrect assumption apparently.

As primitive as snakes may seem to be on the surface, they are actually quite complex. Biology and physics is the two areas of science I got the best grades in and with minimal effort in spite of my very poor math skills. I am now disgusted at much of the material they were teaching. Looking back I can say it wasn't subjective enough, or do I mean to say "too subjective" I don't know. I failed english time and time again in spite of having a significantly above average vocabulary from age 7-17.

I would say the most valuable (to me) things I have learned in my life happened after 1990 (age 20). That's about the time I went "online" and never looked back. I've learned so much since then, but rarely have opened a book.
