Oops..i mean legless beauties! Now that you've clicked my thread, you might as well look at the pics :P

This was pretty much what it was like when i spotted the snake. I had no idea what was going on at first. Busy crime scene. A snake, a few snails, eggs, and a hole with more eggs in it.

I think this Barred Kukri Snake (Oligodon signatus) dug up some lizard eggs and swallowed some too. The snake regurgitated a shell later. A few snails came to share his/her loot. Selangor, Malaysia.

Thanks, Muddyvalley. Only the Striped Coral Snake is venomous. The rest are non venomous.
