Weekend Cuttings : Snakes

.
This week's theme is 'Snake' as requested by Shemah... or rather Buddy based on his favorite game character from Metal Gear Solid called Snake :D

I'm extremely fearful of snakes, so I made my snake version as friendly as possible :D I did touch a snake once, an albino snake at the Zoo Negara (National Zoo) years back. I don't know what prompted me to touch it. It didn't look as menacing as the normal snakes. And I was surprised cos the skin was so dry... I was expecting it to be kinda slimy and gooey.

Anyway here are some interesting snake facts :~
  • There are over 3000 kinds of snake in the world.
  • Snakes are completely deaf, but they do feel vibrations of sound.
  • Most snakes have over 200 teeth.
  • Snakes can have over 300 pairs of ribs.
  • The paired claw-like structures seen on either side of the vent of a snake (such as the royal python), are in fact, remnants of the legs present in the animals from which the modern species has evolved.

Stay tuned next week coz we'll be doing Rabbits :D

  12. Hazel ~ There is no way I'd make a scary one... geli la. It wasn't easy looking through the snake pictures for ideas though.

  13. Perry ~ I'd have to thank Fear Factor for making me a little less scared of snakes.

    I used to be like your friend too, I can't watch snakes even on TV but Fear Factor used snakes so many times in their show that eventually I got used to how they look like.

    But if you ask me to go and hold a real snake, there is no way I'd do it. That albino encounter was just a one off thing and I don't think it will ever happen again :)
