Beautiful New Species of Rare Burrowing Snake Discovered

[Bogertophis]

If the conservationists can't save them, I hope breeders can. They're too beautiful to lose to extinction.

Pretty isn't the only or even the best reason to save a species from extinction- it's how they function in the ecosystem, their value as it relates to the big picture- & what overpopulates if they're not around. Just a reminder- "camouflage" is beautiful too, as is a wide diversity of species. The way we're going, the only snakes left might be ball pythons? And only morphs, at that.
