Legless lizards are not snakes. Lizards have ear openings and moving eyelids, and snakes do not.

Thanks The Guernsey Scientist for the tip!

"An ancient African water spirit, Portuguese slave traders, and a snake charmer traveling with the circus--incredibly, all of their stories collide in a narrative that spans centuries, continents, and the best and worst of human instincts."

Snakes are known for gulping down truly gargantuan meals. But the Gans’ egg-eater outpaces them all, relative to the size of its body. Live Science tells us about how the nonvenomous African snake cand swallow spherical bird eggs whole: flip.it/XIa3dK

I normally call this a black rat snake, but after trying to look it up I ended up more confused... Any help with the ID? I'm in Northeast Ohio. I encountered it in a creek but it soon began climbing up the ravine back into the woods. It was very sweet though, even gently inching closer as I crouched down.

Those of you who love beautiful birds and other wildlife will love this doco filmed in the Western Ghats of India, a highly significant and unique ecological zone. So many pretty kingfishers and woodpeckers!

Ein Urlaubsfoto aus den albanischen Alpen: die europäische Hornotter, lat. Vipera ammodytes. Das Vorkommen Erstreckt sich vom Süden Österreichs über den bis Griechenland. Gefährdet und geschützt nach der FFH-Richtlinie und der Berner Konvention. Die ist giftig, aber wie bei dieser Begegnung flieht sie im Normalfall vor Menschen.
