Re: [OM] IMG: Snake!

[Andrew Fildes]

Nice snake - we don't have anything around here non-venemous of that size.
Note: it's a myth that they dislocate their jaws, they just have a very wide 
gape. Snakes dedicated to egg eating also often have a bony projection in their 
throat against which to force the egg and break it.
