It may seem ridiculous considering how long Ive played with slitherers but I just started realising something
Land snakes and water snakes both seem to be able to follow and catch fish under water
A certain percentage of this could be vibrations from the fish??
Or scent?
But when they ambush a passing fish under water it must be their eyesight??
We have ular pelangi or sunbeam snakes here in an aquarium set up
They actively hunt the fish we drop into the aquarium
But they also sight hunt just as well on land
So the question is very simple considering that our eyesight is not bad on land but abysmal in water
Is a snakes eyesight the same on both land and water??
