Can you identify his species from the photos? I wouldn't be able to by the way, but in the first posting in that same thread Mike tells us the answer.

yeah thanks for ruining all the google image search by image searches.

Watch it, now. I can bring the entire internet down at the touch of a button whenever I feel like it.

What species might Snake1 be?

Interesting - I'd always been taught that (as with lizards) bright colors = venomous.

"Pinkie" means baby rodent?

A pinkie is a newborn mouse; the name comes from the fact that they are pink and hairless. Generally they are only a few hours to a day old. It's a little unsettling to think that they are essentially born to die, but you know...circle of life 'n all that. As cute as the baby snake is, in the wild, a bird would probably gobble it up in a heartbeat.

"females lay 3 to 31 white, leathery-shelled eggs"...

well, now is clear why xyzzy likes it... he likes prime numbers...not "around 30", but exactly 31, hehe...

As an aspiring physiicist, I would thought you might have
recognized the difference between a "progressive" sine wave: y=a sin(k(x-ct))
and a "standing" sine wave: 2y=a sin(k(x-ct)) + a sin(k(x+ct))

(k=2pi/lambda)

A musician.

PS I assume you know what sinA + sinB is.
Or is trig another of the things you deem uninteresting?

Heh, my bad. Can I vote for "it doesn't matter"?

I usually check my links for the intended
"family friendly" reasons. Not to mention the "content" or otherwise.

Hope this one has crossed the pond/cyberspace successfully.
