Serpentarium

The word "serpentar" comes from Lat. _serpens, _serpentis, literally “snake”. In a figurative meaning, the word, incl. in relation to a person, means “an evil, poisonous person; envious."

**Serpentarian way of life**. Animals prefer to stay away from other members of their species. Such collective social relationships within a group and animal behavior are characteristic of species leading a territorial and gregarious lifestyle. This is observed in many groups of bats in relation to each other. Female hog-nosed bats avoid contact with other females in their nesting areas. And when they give birth in large numbers, their young end up being trapped in a small space. In this case, young individuals are either born dead or die of starvation a few days after birth. The potential for aggression against weaker or younger individuals is significant, especially to the extent that there is no threat of human aggression. Serpentiarism is a social interaction between snakes and other creatures such as mice, birds, frogs, geckos and many others, designed to protect snakes from predators and other species or to help them hunt. This is an example of simple domestication (i.e. breeding snakes outside their natural environment), which is very ancient, and may be abandoned quite rarely. As an example, Nigeria's diverse population of mole rats often live separately from other predatory snakes, such as spiny-tailed snakes, ornate snakes and pig-nosed snakes, which they consider a threat to their safety and well-being. They avoid other snakes and often live alone. Defense against enemies forms a major part of their conflict prevention strategy. This type of social organization is called “fractal,” and its structure is manifested in the many ways in which it interacts with potential competitors. For example, some groups may compete with each other for territory, while others will cooperate to hunt or display to others of the opposite sex. However
