    Some snakes like French cuisine!

    Okay, I knew about the egg eating snake....but I didn't know about snail eating snakes! See

    http://www.livescience.com/animalwor...ht_snakes.html
    to read about these snakes. There are even some videos of them eating escargot!

    The number and diversity of predatory niches snakes have been able to take advantage of is truly amazing!
    ~ 1.0.0 Python regius ~ Wild-type ~

    1.0.0 Canis familiaris ~ Blue Italian Greyhound ~

    ~ 0.0.9 Danio rerio~ Wild-type and Glofish

    They are so awsome, they follow the slime trail then sorta suck/pull the snails out. really amazing how things evolve different feeding strategies, and what they eat and how and everything, just blows my mind.
