Ah I am badly scared of snakes. I don't think of them. I will literally start crying after watching a dead snake too. If I accidentally think of them then that small and reddish brown color (not sure about the color as I saw that snake long time ago) cobra that I saw when I was of 6 years comes in my mind.
The most common around me are tan and brown diamondback rattle snakes, so that's what comes to mind. A few months ago there was a baby rattler on my driveway and two cats were circling it - I re-homed it to some fields a couple of miles away.
The full-size ones unfortunately don't get to live if they show up in the residential area - mostly because they are too dangerous to catch without specialized gear unless you catch them in the cold, which makes them lethargic.
Actually I think if someone who is a metaphorical snake. But if I am thinking of the animal, I think of the massive boa constrictors I’ve seen in some parts of the country. Scary !
Round head. Black Bead Eyes. Smooth Shiny Emerald Green Scales almost like with rainbows. Size as big as 250 ml Absolute Water Bottle. The posture is half up straight looking at me with no tongue out.
When I think of snake I think of the jokers that steal your ideas or take credit for work you did & they didn’t & they look good in front of the boss. That is a fucking snake.
One that looks like a hosepipe. (I was coiling up a hosepipe and part of it slithered off into the bushes once.) So, green and half an inch in diameter.
"Sanajeh Indicus" Is that the one they found as part of a fossil with dinosaur eggs, probably trying to eat one of the hatchlings when it died? Amazing story.
I was right (but that Wonambi is even scarier big).
"In 2013, with Indian paleontologist Dhananjay Mohabey and others from GSI, Wilson co-authored a paper describing the incredibly action-packed moment that the fossil captured. They not only confirmed the presence of a prehistoric snake, but also found that its jaws were opened wide as if to eat the baby dinosaur – one that had just hatched. The hatchling was beside a clutch of dinosaur eggs, which were still whole. The geologist studying the project deduced that the animals had probably been buried in a mudslide – an event that began quickly, without warning, locking away that predatory moment in time." ... "And that's how Sanajeh indicus made its global debut – the words are Sanskrit for "ancient gape from the Indus". Scientists noted how pre-historic snakes didn't have the ability to open their jaws wide enough to swallow big prey, an ability that some modern snakes have acquired through the process of evolution." www.bbc.com/.../20220113-why-indias-fossil-wealth-has-remained-hidden
