Thanks Leeshie. I hope lots more members chime in with other fascinating information about how snake's bodies work. I'm fascinated how a creature so vastly different from a mammal goes about things. I know I do a better job with them if I really understand why this or that is important to how their bodies function.

My next personal project is to learn more about exactly how they mature sexually and how reproduction is the same and different than in mammals since I feel horribly clueless about this.
