and yes for sure a defensive thing they have developed due to predation on gthe island. AN interesting note. Burmese pythons are very rare in indonesia. They almost dont exist, yet these dwarfs come from an island thats very far away from mainland asia where burmese come from. Close to sulawesi (celebes. So they evolved over a very long time, unlike the dwarf retics.
also interesting, wild dwarf burmese are the meanest snake ive ever seen. They play dead as babies, the are very mean as adults and they burrow more than a normal, all tells me that them being small, they must have several animals that eat them in the wild..
