christian freeling's Kobus

Due to my respect to christian and his pet named Kobus, I am creating a new thread here.

christian, a very practical (I think) question for you:

1. How do you know Kobus is a male snake? (if not told so)

2. Does Kobus like music?

.......................

How have you taught it to play Go so well? This is really amazing...

Females grow much faster. Kobus has grown half a meter in the last ten years. Had it been a female, it would have been five and a half meters now, and about my weight (70 k). I don't think that would be manageable. As it is, carrying 30 k deplorably active snake down the stairs is requiring some attention already.

I just tried to google "Kobus":

\* a strong Go player rated 2.3k at LG,

\* a Burmese male python

\* King of Banana United States

\* Nude Girls (by the way, what is the difference between "nude" and "naked"?)

LG forum is too quiet......

Snakes are deaf by the way, I don't know how he would appreciate the vibrations of say 'Good Vibrations".

Check this out: (I cut and paste the message)

In the past it was a common belief that snakes couldn't hear much, if anything, since they have no external ears and don't seem to respond much to noises. However, some scientific research refutes this common misconception.

While snakes do not have external ears or eardrum, they do have inner ear structures. A bone called the quadrate bone (in the jaw) moves slightly in response to vibrations. It has been shown to respond to airborne vibrations as well as ground vibrations. As with other animal ears, this movement is transferred (via bones) to the inner ear, from which signals are sent to the brain and are interpreted as sound. How much snakes can hear or how they process and interpret this information remains largely a mystery. However, some researchers determined that snakes are able to detect low frequency airborne vibrations through their inner ears. Snakes also respond to airborne vibrations via the lungs, and to ground vibrations via receptors associated with their belly muscles.

so snakes are not completely deaf & thank you I got something new to learn from your question ! & for more information plz go to the following link !!!!
