Posted by: Chernoff at Tue Nov 30 22:26:24 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Chernoff ] I agree with most of the points that you made... I did check carefully for overt signs of infection. There was no gaping of the mouth, and when I looked inside it, there were no signs of mucous or redness. I should also add that on two of the occasions, the snakes had eaten the previous evening and it's my impression that snakes with oral or respiratory infections do not eat. As far as mimicry goes - I'm at a loss as to what type of species it might be mimicing. At this point, my best guess is that it is some type of threat display - but as you note, these types of displays usually don't last very long and this one does. | ||
