Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Bogertophis]

I can't tell you how many times I've lost Wiggles only to find him right in front of my face. He's not a chameleon! He's brown with a faint spotted pattern, but evolution has given him the ability to fit perfectly in the gaps in our perception making him, at times, effectively invisible. It's spooky.

Yes, my Spotted python has excellent camouflage for shadowy places too- darker green w/faint speckling ("granite phase"). Either way, their patterns help break up their overall body shape that we see. I hope he's at least a little contrite today? LOL
