Hi Terry,
I got a chance to look it up, and parallel evolution refers to similarities caused by similar forces in related biological creatures. Such as in this case, snakes. In convergent evolution, unrelated biological creatures developed similar forms due to similar forces, such as wings in birds and bats.
I was wrong and apologize for any misunderstanding that I might have caused the group in the meaning and use of these terms.
Rick
