Best Snake Ever!

I'm not a particular fan of snakes, I don't hate em either.

I just happened to see this on BBC news and I think it's the best snake I've ever seen!

Kill it with fire, nuke from orbit etc.

I thought that as well. It's pretty cool.

Nice colour

Woah, that snake looks like it means business.

Oh page two:

The "dragon millipede" (Desmoxytes purpurosea) was first described in 2007 by scientists in Thailand. Researchers suggest the bright colouring acts as a warning to would-be predators, as the millipede has glands that produce cyanide as a defence mechanism.

Yep, that'll do it.

I agree. It's pretty cool but it/he seemed upset though.

That snake looks like it’s ready for Mardi Gras, the littlie one on page three looks cute.

The Halk · 15 Dec 2008 at 12:05

What do you mean with all this "pretty cool" and "nice" it's THE BEST SNAKE EVAR!!!1!

Seriously though it looks more like a snake than other real snakes... if you get my meaning

"Awesome" is an acceptable descriptive to use for this snake.

I will be monitoring this thread for inappropriate language.

That millipede is a bit crazy!

Cyanide on demand!?!

Snake is awesome too

Gilly · 15 Dec 2008 at 12:34

Looks OK.

It would make a very striking belt.

Schnippzle · 15 Dec 2008 at 12:39

Not so much the way it looks, more what it does that scares me!

Is it mine? COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (or something!)

I would love a big snake, for now my year old royal python will do, couldnt handle anything bigger - almost bought a burmese python the other day though.

That snake looks mean as hell!

Amnesia · 15 Dec 2008 at 13:10

awesome is the word that comes to mind
