Throwback to a wild Burmese python underwater in the Everglades back in 2015. Most people would never know this photo was taken underwater if I didn’t tell them, it was in a spot with very clear water.
A snake’s tongue is flicked out to collect scent particles and bring them back to the Jacobson’s organ for analyzation, providing the animal with a sensitive scent detection ability. Not only do snakes flick their tongues through the air for this, but also underwater as seen in this photo. Pretty neat!
Pythons are consistently a very controversial topic with a lot of misinformation and lack of education on the subject. I spend the majority of my post’s going over the same repetitive questions, so
I made a blog to cover all the frequently asked questions such as why are they here, how big do they get, what do they eat, ecological threats, bounty, comparisons to feral cats
