Notice how her pattern mimics lance-head vipers. Neat.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!
I have a question for you, have you ever seen any weird defense mechanisms with the latin-american snail-eaters?
I keep a couple of southeast asian species, and some of them act in a very peculiar way when frightened.

I have not noted any odd behavior. All they do is hide their heads or take off like most snakes.
I have noted that when hungry, they will nudge a snail over and wait for it to emerge from its shell - and wait very patiently until it is out and then wamo, grab onto it and one I have here holds on for half a day or more until the snail dies and it can suck it out of the shell.
