The Bible described an evil "serpent" in the Garden of Eden, which tempted Eve, who herself in turn corrupted Adam, and with far-reaching consequences that supposedly resulted because Yahweh is still pissed off at all humanity.

If that Edenic serpent was so greatly evil, this snake must be the lesser of the two evils.

Leptotyphlops carlae. The name is bigger than the animal.

There are a staggering number of natural wonders as yet unknown, yet we destroy the environment with never a thought beyond personal profit. Barbados is 95% deforested and this little guy hasn't very long to go.

Amazing, the world's tiniest species of snake - just 10cm long and as thin as a piece of spaghetti -

Odd that that no one can find a 6 to 12 ft. 800 pound hairy beast living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada.

I wonder what Jeffrey Meldrum and the Crypto Community think when real scientific discoveries are made using real knowledge applied with science.

LOL

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

What an adorable little snake! I'd love to keep one as a pet.
