    Ah. Apparently it’s called a slug snake because it EATS slugs, not because it looks like one.

    Which is good, because it looks like a stick. Literally the most twig-ass looking snake ever.

      Unlike many other snakes, this species eats snails and slugs using a technique called mandibular sawing. To slice off the indigestible parts of prey, it slides its jaws back and forth like a saw.

    Ngl, while it is definitely weird as hell, it has a surreal beauty because of it.

    It’s also like what you’d get if a kid only had brown crayons, drew a snake, and then developed the power to bring their drawings to life.

      Thing looks like a bad taxidermy of a regular snake.

        A good effort at an balloon animal would result in better taxidermy

    I am just a monkey climbing on these trees and I will grab this vine which is definitely not a snake. Can’t wait to see my monkey wife and monkey child in my monkey home. Oh, I’ve made an error.
