| we're sensitive to hot and cold as our nerve endings are close to our thin skin, a snake however has thicker skin and overlappig scales so it takes longer for any extreme temps to get through. i'm sure they still feel pain though. |

they do feel pain, cos when Peanut had his Baytril injection, he did not like it one tiny bit...he was squirming..it hurt him.
and they have ticklish bellies to... |

| I thought that they do feel pain, but they don't feel heat the same way we do which is why they get burnt. |

| Think about it this way. We don't feel pain when out in the sun all day, that night it hurts when you are burnt though. |
