Ah. Apparently it's called a slug snake because it EATS slugs, not because it looks like one.
Which is good, because it looks like a stick. Literally the most twig-ass looking snake ever.
Great camouflage!
Unlike many other snakes, this species eats snails and slugs using a technique called mandibular sawing. To slice off the indigestible parts of prey, it slides its jaws back and forth like a saw.
Wild! (Also, you doubled-commented somehow)
Twice the snake facts!
It looks dry af. Like those rain worms that didn't make it back in time and dried on the asphalt
Ngl, while it is definitely weird as hell, it has a surreal beauty because of it.
It's also like what you'd get if a kid only had brown crayons, drew a snake, and then developed the power to bring their drawings to life.
Thing looks like a bad taxidermy of a regular snake.
A good effort at an balloon animal would result in better taxidermy
I am just a monkey climbing on these trees and I will grab this vine which is definitely not a snake. Can't wait to see my monkey wife and monkey child in my monkey home. Oh, I've made an error.
God dammit, not Frank! He was just a week away from retiring at the banana factory!
soggy vine looking ass
Meth-head snake.
Guys! That's just a stick!
Rattlesnakes next year in the US with the BBB.
