Snake-safe cleaning methods/plants?

Hahahahahahaha The possum theme started with my user name (short for Didelphis virginiana). There's an entire photoalbum's worth of potential possum avatars from some of my rescues, some of which are quite frankly terrifying. (Have you SEEN their angry faces?!) lol

Virgiana take before and after pix to share.

Will do Hopefully within the next few days!

I don't even dare to look. Some people can't stand to look at a spider, or a snake. Well, for me, that's nothing to me compared to... well, you see, I can't even mention it. Just talking about it gives me the willies.

Yup. More teeth and a wider jaw-span than any other mammal... And no idea that actually using those things for biting instead of playing dead *might* be a more effective defense mechanism.
With me it's chickens. There's no reason for it, but I just can't stand them.

I think they might actually be sharing first place with the clouded leopard. I think.

Yeah, I think you're right. They're still pretty impressive though!

Indeed.

I was pretty sure the Tasmanian devil had the widest, but it turns out it can only open its jaws to about 80 degrees. If only the thylacine was still around, with its 120 degree gape.

Seriously one of my favorite animals.
