Maybe I should have been a little more specific... I meant to try and guess what snake the fang came from...

>>Read at the top of that page..
>>It says

I know what it says, I wrote it. Read the rest of the page and you'll get the point (so to speak).

Hey Larry, I read the whole page, but I can't figure out what "snales" have to do with it either!....LOL.

LarryF Mar 18, 2005 11:21 AM

Doh! That's what happens when you write at 5:00 AM... And I read zoolady's post about 3 times trying to make sure I wasn't missing her point...and still did.

That's the only reason I have a driver's license really...in case I forget how to spell my own name.

Eimon Mar 19, 2005 04:24 AM

LOL.......isn't it great when we miss our own fluff? That "L" is just too close to the "K". On the serious side, that was a well done piece. I agree with lat, even folks familiar with herps can have some strange and inaccurate misconceptions about certain things. And in some cases, that could be a deadly mistake. Much more so than a sneaky "L".

Yup, read it a dozen times, no snales involved. LOL
It's ok, just had to give ya hell.

his anaylsis of a B. gabonica feeding strike, frame by frame (or at least 3 frames). Will definitely give you a healthy respect for their abilities if you didn't already have one.
