A few days ago I saw a snake of the non-venomous variety. It would retreat under the cover of the seawall for a few minutes, then poke its head up to see of we were still around. We would take a shot with a pistol and it would retreat again. Nothing unusual so far. But then after a several of these taunts, the dang thing stuck his head up and "puffed out" his jaws to give the semblance of a venomous snake (triangular head). It was a fairly good impression and might have fooled us had we not seen it with the skinny head several times already.

Obviously this is a defense mechanism used by this, and maybe other, species as well. It has struck me as rather strange that apparently other snakes, and probably other animals also, use the same identification method for venomous snakes as most humans.

And BTW... it is turtle food now!
