They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

I'm confused.. Why is it an April Fool's joke? I probably just missed a joke or something Originally Posted by Stefan-A

Re: New Thamnophis species
Because the species doesn't exist. Because it's not a valid scientific name. Because the story was published in the April issue of the EGSA newsletter. And because the "person" behind the "story" is the same as in another classic hoax: Rhinogradentia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Originally Posted by d_virginiana
