I had a discussion ith a reptile store owner a few days ago and was just wondering on some opinions.
He said that 'apparently' reptiles cannot hear sounds but distinguish voices etc through vibrations - he doesnt believe this (due to an experience he had with a snake) but I was just curious as to what others think!
I watched a video once of an iguana which responded to commands - its name, time for a bath, go to your room, go outside etc - and cant understand how it could do those things based entirely on vibrations, especially when there were a number of people carrying out the orders.
So what do you think... can reptiles actually hear sounds?
