is this why you never hear about snakes up at the north pole (because of the slippy ice)

snakes' body temperature gets colder or warmer with the ambient temperature and this translates to just plum freezing to death if it's cold enough, which is the real reason you won't see them near the north pole (at least until the ice caps melt anyway). so when its too cold they go underground and into some weird kind of hibernation where they're not quite asleep but still very sluggish so if there's a warm day they can maybe get some water out of the snow

have a video about it, the snake travels across the snow probably the same way they'd travel across ice and definitely the same way desert snakes travel across sand

There’s one black snake who got real smart and lives in one of the rodent bait boxes I service. He just lets the rats come to him.

Did you seriously just try to explain how 'being cold blooded' works to a room full of adults?
Is that honestly what you did just there?

I had my adult cousin ask me if snakes were basking in the sun to get vitamin D, like people. Which, like, I dunno maybe that too? But seems a lot of people are not familiar with being cold blooded.

Have you seen the adult population lately? They definitely need an explanation of how being cold blooded works.

also i work in an irs call center. the only thing 'adult' really means to me is that you managed not to die before you got old enough to drink, has absolutely nada to do with being smart or bothering to learn things

Actually yeah, that too! It's why for most pet reptiles you need a UV lamp and not just heat.

Snails cum themselves forward when they hop a very short distance up. They only hop such a short way because their leg is very short.

A lot of molluscs only have one foot - barnacles, limpets, anemones etc.

One leg is plenty if you live in water.

Sea snakes are fun to watch. They move through water they same way they move on the ground, which seems like it shouldn't work or is cheating somehow.
