Thanks for looking and commenting, dennis2146, PRETENDER, Scott, Brenda, dpullum, Mark, WayneT, Allen, kpmac, David, Jerry, Douglass, Carol. Much appreciated!
Brenda - i am guessing the head shape of the slug snake is for it to prey on snails effectively rather than for camouflage.
dpullum - all snakes are harmless if we just leave them alone!
Jerry - yes, cute. I insist! :P

I have yet to remain calm after being bitten by what I know is a harmless snake. It does not even have to hurt, and yet it still really gets the heart going.


Most of the times, the pain is gone within 5 minutes, and I can't even tell where the bite mark is.
