A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
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.
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
Great camouflage!
