    Glasses--Match Any Real Snake?

    I recently got new glasses, and the other week somebody said, "Hey, did you kill a snake to make those glasses?" After that I took a closer look at them. I should have noticed this before, but they do look like the pattern on a snake. The sides are plastic. Now I'm curious. Does the coloring and pattern match or come close to any actual snake species? I might need a new snake just to match!

    That is the kind of thing I would have noticed immediately ten or more years ago, and would not have noticed at all on my own today. My eyesight now sucks. So, I have to say, if it took another person to point that out to you...maybe you should get them checked again?

    Just sayin'.

    Cool pattern.

    You're right, it does look kind of like the sides of an albino okeetee corn snake. Thanks!

    LOL, well lets think about this. If it's on the sides of the glasses, the same ones she uses to see, being when they're off her face, she likely can't see due to the glasses she needs to see are off. Yes, you can look sideways, but may not be noticeable at that angle. Who checks their glasses with a 2nd mirror, I don't
