Well i dont realy know much i dont keep them but spitters are able to aim for the eyes, i would imagine there pretty intelligent due to being able to do that. Also i heard with King Cobras if you try and distract them with your arm they follow your arm up to your face lol I do think they are pretty intelligent more intelligent than some species. |
