They are certainly less frenetic and jumpy than the varanids, but intelligence and thoughtfulness is similar. Also, many tortoise species are interactive this way. Ask anyone with a sulcata or a Desert Tortoise. They follow you like a puppy and contemplate what you are doing even when food is not involved. In the snake world, the Drymarchon have a reputation for being thoughtful and intelligent, as do King Cobras.</blockquote>
