Talk:Snake skeleton

Latest comment: 11 years ago by JonRichfield in topic Venom

Ok. I did my best to wikify and unite 3 motley pages: snake dentition, snake skull, snake skeleton. I'm new at this and not exactly an expert. If someone could chip in on this page it would be fantastic. This article is still in desperate need of citations, less verbosity, maybe a color-coded image of the bones of a snake skull. Either the vocab should be demonstrated with a pic, or somehow removed. Craig Pemberton (talk) 21:48, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Venom

edit

I'm no herp morphologist, so I'm not really looking in too deeply, but I see that the word "weak" was removed from the venom of back-fanged snakes. I agree, because: 1: Why are we discussing venom in this article in the first place? 2: The venom is not at all weak in backfanged snakes as any special rule anyway. The boomslang is no special case. For example the venom of the Rhombic skaapsteker (Used to be Trimerorhinus) was said to exceed the toxicity of that of the Cape cobra. It just happens to be docile and unable to deliver a serious bite to a human under most circumstances. JonRichfield (talk) 19:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
