Here's another pic.

A beautiful little snake.

:idea: Interesting isn't it, that most nocturnal snakes have small eyes & diurnal snakes have large eyes.

It's the opposite with birds & mammals. Curious eh?

Shows how much they rely on scent!
Looking at the large tongue on this specimen & how often it used it, you can see why they don't need big eyes!
