In the first and second image, you can see the massive influence of hydrophobic snake skin interacting with water. Look at the outlines of the shadow on the bottom of the bowl in the first and second picture, it clearly shows how the skin of the BP repells water.
which coincidentally also explains why tape is like kryptonite for reptiles and why some nonpolar glue can cause so much damage. These images illustrate that the skin of snakes is nonpolar and refuses to mix with water. basically when it rains on a snake, half of the water droplets will be deflected and bounce off, the other half will run down quickly, and the snake will not really get wet.
the BP looks very nice and healthythe contrast is really high, what are the genetics?
