Take a face. The left and right side will often be mirror images. Not the case for the face of the Keeled Slug #Snake.

So how are #snakes doing? For a start, they need a new PR team!
A dislike of snakes by humans can hinder research & preservation projects. Add that to the secretive nature of many snakes & conservation becomes a difficult topic.

Whilst #snakes do not have external "sticky out" ears, they can still hear. It is a myth that snakes are deaf, however they do have some quirks in relation to their methods of hearing.

Even though many humans have never encountered a "real" #snake, thanks to film and TV, you will have probably heard a snake hiss.
But did you know that some #snakes can growl too?

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time? Probably the best chat up line to use on a Dasypeltis #snake.
This group of snakes are also known as the Egg Eating Snakes.
But how does a snake eat something so round?

"It's red & black, stay back!" - is what these snakes want you to think.
A Batesian mimic is another term for "a critter in disguise". These snakes have patterns that make them look like a more dangerous type of #snake

How low can you go? Could you dive into The Twilight Zone?
No, I'm not talking about swimming to a 5th dimension, but into the depths of the ocean.
Piece of cake if you're a Hydrophis sea #snake

This #snake believes it can fly, believes it can touch the sky. Thinks about it every night & day, just to spread its wings and … oh wait ..,
This isn't flying, this is falling with style.
