Comment on Learning the Python
Khrux@ttrpg.network 6 months agoWeird question but as someone who has never owned a reptile, do they feel love and kinship like mammals do? I always picture their reptile brains as very logical and without any emotion except maybe fear sometimes, but I could be totally wrong on that.

I’ve not heard anyone describing reptiles as having “love” or “kinship” like a mammal pet ala cat/dog does. They’re not really pack or social creatures. However They do form familiar bonds with their owners/handlers that they’ll be most comfortable with, as they can tell the difference between people (largely through body scent). When they are comfortable they’ll be more energetic, mobile, and explore with curiosity.
