The idea that snakes are only poisonous and dangerous is often promoted, but research has reached a new finding associated with this type of reptile that they are “social” creatures that become “warm and cuddly” once they are with other members of their kind.
According to a study from Loma Linda University in California, the snake feels comfortable being close to its kind, just like humans.
According to the study, published by the newspaper “Daily Mail”, snakes gain a sense of well-being when they writhe with snakes of their own kind, noting a decrease in their heart rate.
Study author William Hayes said: “People are keen to decapitate snakes, but these animals are sensitive and capable of emotions.”
The study confirms the suspicions raised by Professor Hayes, when he puts a snake in a bucket and carries it safely into the wild, this creature usually rampages along the way.
But he said he had noticed that when there were one or more snakes in a bucket, the snakes were quieter.
