Absolutely! One of the biggest hurdles I faced was when our gator Stella started anticipating my moves before I did them. Turned out she was picking up on some tiny muscle twitch I made with my arm that I wasn't even aware of. I knew gators were smart, but that was definitely the moment where I realized I was severely underestimating her. She sounds a lot like Basil; she knows what she is supposed to do, but she will test you every step of the way to try and get her way!
