Never been trues like half ot the image is that reply why in the holy fuck of all fucks is there a circle ? Maybe its cropped out from a larger image ?
If a shitpost has a red circle after the anal plate, it's toxic.
At least they circled the important part
This is like that "red touches yellow rhyme" that is completely useless if you aren't living in whatever specific region the rule originated from.
Well, i live in a region with coral snakes, so it's pretty useful for me.
But do you have king snakes too, that you need to differentiate from the coral snakes?
Seems like only the regions with both types need the rhyme (maybe they overlap completely, I'm no snake expert)
No, but somewhat useful when a red black and yellow snake shows up in the playground and you need to know if you should tell the teacher and cancel recess or not.
You can also check if it's venemous by checking how long its fangs are. Constrictors have a lot of small short teeth for holding onto prey. Venemous snakes have at least 2 large fangs for injecting venom. Therefor if a snake has big teeth then it's either venomous or a very large constrictor. So next time you're wondering if a snake is dangerous just take a good close look at it's teeth to find out.
I'm sure the original image was targeted at a general audience and totally not at people studying snakes. /s
Also, its*
So, butthole science?
Safety Tip 1: Pick up every snake you see and inspect it's butthole to see if it's too dangerous to pickup.
Safety Tip 2: Just let the snakes live their life from now on.
