I disagree with this theory for one major reason...

In it she says snakes were constrictors first then developed venom to gain an edge.

This has been scientificly proven incorrect.

DNA research has shown that most reptiles evolved from a venomous species. And that over time some lost their capacity.

The full article about the Australian DNA research and their finding s can be found here...

I also believe that the common ancestor was amphibious.
