    Oh yes, Dr. O'Neal is a clever one. That's right- Doctor. Apparently he received a PhD in Leadership and Education with a specialization in Human Resource Development from Barry University in 2012.

          SNAKE FACTS: The original post is of Atheris hispida (a viper that lives in African reeds/wet forests and probably eats a lot of leeches - the scales may even help avoid leech bites), whereas the first of latter two posted is Atheris squamigera. A beautiful genus, but as far as I am aware there is no antivenom.

          [–]alllie 2 points3 points ago

          I was wondering. Cause all the elevated scales look like they would catch and hold filth and no way a snake can clean himself. So maladaptive, I thought. So there needs to be a good reason for them.

          [–]ResidentObama 18 points19 points ago

          Snakes don't really actively clean themselves, but they do shed their skin periodically, which does the same job. This one lives above the ground most of the time, so probably doesn't come into contact with too much dirt. Another possibility is that the raised scales break up the outline, making it harder for predators to spot.

          [–]alllie 4 points5 points ago

          But then why aren't the raised scales common in other snakes as well? If it's an adaptive trait?

          [–]ResidentObama 19 points20 points ago

          It hinders movement, so could only occur in highly sedentary species such as some vipers. And some other sedentary vipers do have rough scalation, such as the Rhino Viper. http://www.latoxan.com/VENOM/SNAKE/IMG/Bitis-nasicornis(4).jpg

          Other snakes also break up their outline with nasal appendages, such as Langahas: http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8421/7800989452_27044d5c29.jpg

          [–]JorusC 7 points8 points ago

          I've never seen a Langaha before. That's the goofiest looking snake I've ever seen. Thanks for teaching me something new and hilarious.

                    While I was in Borneo a young specimen of those was startled by something and jumped in the river, after, it tried to get in our boat because the river was kind of fast. It tried desperately to climb the side of the small boat and I wanted to help it but everyone else in the boat told me to let it go.. :(

                                How does a snake evolve to look like that? I mean, how does the snake body know what a leaf looks like so it can evolve into looking like a leaf? Does anybody know this?

                                [–]everfalling 22 points23 points ago

                                how does the snake body know what a leaf looks like so it can evolve into looking like a leaf?

                                assuming the scales are supposed to be mimicking a leaf: it doesn't. Evolution is a mindless process. It has no goals to work toward. If an animal has skin or scales that help it blend in with its environment slightly better than another of its kind then it's more likely to survive and pass on its genes. Repeat this millions of times and you find the skin or scales will get closer and closer to looking like the thing that allows it to hide better. So evolution doesn't know how to do anything but it's very much guided by environmental forces.

                                  I saw a documentary when I was younger which featured a leaf fish. I can't remember what it was actually called, but it was this fish which lived off the coast of the rainforest. It looked exactly like a tatty old leaf, and it would wait for leaves to blow off the mainland and into the water, and then float around in an errant, well, leaf-like fashion to camoflauge itself.

                                  I loved the look of this fish, but it got me thinking - This fish didn't say "I think one day, 10 million years down the track, I will look like a leaf, and that will be a good strategy". Before the evolutionary process started, it wouldn't have looked at all like a leaf, so following real leaves around would have been ineffectual. At the same time, there would have been millions of years where it didn't look much like anything. At what point along the fish-leaf continuum did it start to move like a leaf, for instance?

                                  I've never been one for big bearded guys in the sky, but sometimes I find it hard to believe there isn't some sort of design at work when I look at animals like these.

                                  TL;DR: I have no idea about your question

                                  [–]TheInsaneDane 0 points1 point ago

                                  It's really hard for me to comprehend that stuff like this isn't affected by anything.

                                  Can you remember what documentary it was?

                                        Camouflage. Despite it being a deadly snake, most snakes just want to spend their time relaxing undisturbed in some pile of leaves. That's why, for example, a rattlesnake rattles at you to warn you that it's around instead of just biting your face. It's like "look man, I don't want any trouble, just walk away." So if this snake can just look like leaves, no birds can sneak up on it.

                                          Snakes get a bad reputation because some of them are poisonous and kill people, and also because the Bible kind of portrays them as a representation of all things evil if you're into that sort of stuff. However, I think snakes are amazing creatures that often have their beauty overlooked.

                                          [–]life_failure 4 points5 points ago

                                          As a biology/theology double major, I want to contribute something to this conversation!

                                          1. Snakes appear more than once in the Bible. One such instance, in Numbers, God uses snakes as a means of his wrath. I realize that's not a much happier representation, but thats not the end of the story. The Israelites are murmuring against God, like they do every couple of months since he rescued them from bondage, and God has gotten a little tired of it. So, he sends snakes amongst the people and whoever they bite, eventually, dies. Well, as always, Moses goes to God and begs for mercy, apologizes for the Israelites and promises they will be better. God shows mercy and instructs Moses to build a Golden serpent and to place it on the top of a staff. Moses does and shows it to the people and anyone who looks upon the Serpent is cured. (We are gonna skip over the fact that within weeks the Israelites begin to worship the Serpent and so it has to be placed in the Arc with the 10 commandments lol) So, in this story, snakes not only represent the will of God but the mercy of God as well. Its not a cut and dry issue with biblical imagery.

                                          2. This is super minor and not many people would care... But, snakes are venomous, not poisonous. Poisonous implies that you ate it. Poison is ingested, venom is injected. Just, FYI, not a huge deal.

                                          So, thats what I have to offer :) Have a good day.

                                          That's the most gorgeous snake I've ever seen. And that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd utter.

                                          To a female snake.

                                            We don't have big land animals in Australia. They're all tiny and deadlier than an African elephant.

                                            Don't let their size fool you; African elephants are extremely venomous.

                                            ...Oh, no, wait, that's the African rhino. Sorry. Carry on.

                                                I read that if you get bit by one of these snakes that 60% of the time, you die every time.

                                                It's kinda sad that something that beautiful can kill. I guess that's the beauty of nature.

                                                Does this snake shed its skin like other snakes? Would it all come off in more or less one piece, or smaller flakes?
