In fact <i>birds</i> don’t even produce oxytocin, they produce their own homologous “version” of bonding hormone called mesotocin. And reptiles have an equivalent hormone called arginine-vasotocin that regulates things like egg laying (which is why vets sometimes administer oxytocin to egg-bound reptiles to induce laying). <br/></p> <p>The argument that most reptiles are not social (or at the very least not cooperative) and experience stress when being cohabbed is totally sound and I am not in any way critiquing that argument. Just wanted to point out that using the “they don’t produce oxytocin” as evidence is a bit mammal-centric and not really definitive proof. <br/></p> </blockquote> <p>As a zoologist I find this sort of thing fascinating. The concept that oxycytocin is he only bonding chemica out there has never made sense to me. After all, we have thousands of complex phenotypic traits that evolve in parallel; one such example is flight, which has evolved independantly in nearly every animal family! It would therefore make sense that the ability to bond, even temporarily, would have evolved multiple times and using multiple chemical pathways.</p> <p><br/></p> <p>That being said, I would argue that the presence of such a chemical pathway is probably lost/not evolved in snakes, which do not display the complex social connections and attachment to young that can be seen in some lizards and crocodilians. </p> <p>Who knows, though? There is yet to be research done on such a thing.</p> </blockquote>https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168180284397https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168180284397Mon, 04 Dec 2017 05:03:02 -0500<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/7fb8236ac314c7d0e0ce454a1888e761/tumblr_p0fertYRZM1uipl4vo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“No I don’t want to be in any more pictures >:(“</p> <p>I can’t believe I didn’t upload this</p>https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168177894962https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168177894962Mon, 04 Dec 2017 02:43:00 -0500khaleesifire ball pythonmy snakesnakes in hatsball pythonsnekreptiblrsnekblrroyal python<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/40c1ef1132964b545a2b41a9d14a244d/tumblr_oxsmq72Buj1tnirkqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://fionahsieh.tumblr.com/post/166379654389/commission-for-a-dear-friend-8bittykitty-of-her" class="tumblr_blog">fionahsieh</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>commission for a dear friend <a class="tumblelog" href="https://tmblr.co/mMBbEP_lT5HTVmxJp8p5pUQ">@8bittykitty</a> of her baby ball python, Tapioca! breath of the wild themed!<br/><a href="http://fionahsieh.tumblr.com/">~fionahsieh</a></p></blockquote>https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168175062352https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168175062352Mon, 04 Dec 2017 00:42:20 -0500<p><a href="http://i-m-snek.tumblr.com/post/166773190296/trying-to-get-some-halloween-pics-of-thresh-now" class="tumblr_blog">i-m-snek</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Trying to get some Halloween pics of Thresh now that he shed.. and I just..</p><figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="2736" data-orig-width="3648"><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/bb8e12ebd293aeda3c515ad9c1f588a8/tumblr_inline_oydafkhFwj1rijaiz_540.jpg" data-orig-height="2736" data-orig-width="3648"/></figure><p>Thresh…</p><figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="1915" data-orig-width="2554"><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/04b1f44a83f14f6f677b2e252b6f199f/tumblr_inline_oydaftTa4R1rijaiz_540.jpg" data-orig-height="1915" data-orig-width="2554"/></figure><p>SQUISH</p></blockquote>https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168175059012https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168175059012Mon, 04 Dec 2017 00:42:13 -0500<p><a href="http://gallowsgirl.tumblr.com/post/167927914145/me-gently-mists-my-reptiles-tanks-so-they-can" class="tumblr_blog">gallowsgirl</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Me: *gently mists my reptiles’ tanks so they can be happy and healthy*</p><p><br/></p><p> My reptiles: </p><figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="329" data-orig-width="447" data-orig-src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/b84df8efa3ae1c244e69d810c2018b50/tumblr_inline_p024q2yuuP1rpd4j8_500.jpg"><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/334aff287356714c4a49f2e2a58050cd/tumblr_inline_p024se9fYx1rpd4j8_540.jpg" data-orig-height="329" data-orig-width="447" data-orig-src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/b84df8efa3ae1c244e69d810c2018b50/tumblr_inline_p024q2yuuP1rpd4j8_500.jpg"/></figure></blockquote>https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168175017877https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168175017877Mon, 04 Dec 2017 00:40:40 -0500accurate<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/b0c94884ead44c7c8b216ce5f11aeeef/tumblr_p0eloyE7Bv1ww5wi1o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/11aac30b921812eeb8fe983f7eb01593/tumblr_p0eloyE7Bv1ww5wi1o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="https://bubbythesnek.tumblr.com/post/168159771590/s-n-a-k-e-a-e-s-t-h-e-t-i-c-2" class="tumblr_blog">bubbythesnek</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>~ s n a k e a e s t h e t i c . 2 ~</p></blockquote>https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168174454372https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168174454372Mon, 04 Dec 2017 00:20:19 -0500<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/2fd1d209431a3c92b8a327d3427e09a7/tumblr_oyxhhggx2m1ud8i8ko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="https://cornsnoot.tumblr.com/post/168145971398/my-long-son-is-getting-more-squishy" class="tumblr_blog">cornsnoot</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>my long son is getting more Squishy</p></blockquote>https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168174448347https://katesgotsnakes.tumblr.com/post/168174448347Mon, 04 Dec 2017 00:20:07 -0500not my snakegamer boi<img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/99bb78e88ab51d078d446627cb2c3a13/tumblr_p0e955jszV1wqtdryo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="https://78.media.tumblr.com/67f8ea2dadf659636fead9013a420e5a/tumblr_p0e955jszV1wqtdryo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="https://nigeltheball.tumblr.com/post/168151421095/the-most-accurately-ive-ever-captured-his" class="tumblr_blog">nigeltheball</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>The most accurately I’ve ever captured his gorgeous colors.
