We do not have the brightest snake.

Herbie, the ball python (or, the "Burmese python" of "pet-eating" fame, see Mother :P) is not the smartest of snakes, I don't think.

He has been having trouble shedding for some time now. This can be solved by soaking in water. Which he has; a large dish is provided to him daily. But do you think it occurs to him to GET IN IT AND SOAK? Noooo. Not Herbie! When we cleaned his tank today, I actually had to stick him in the water, which he fought all the way down. He then, and only then, realized he felt better, and had a nice long soak.

Yeah, not the brightest snake. :P
