My point was that I shouldn't be the one collecting points. Somebody else should be beating me to it.

It is quite a challange for us but perhaps some will undertake.

Clarification, please. Some rear fanged snakes do have potent venom.

Like the Boomslang.

Like the Boomslang.

And the genera Thelotornis, Telescopus and Thrasops (aka. Rhamnophis) AND Rhabdophis.

In fact, here's a link worth checking:

Venom is venom and must be treated with respect. I know of one incident in San Diego of kids that were handling ringneck snakes and allowing them to chew on their fingers. Those kids ended up in the hospital. Not that there was any danger of them dying but the venom had some serious consequences to their hands. Ringneck snakes in San Diego feed primarily on small lizards (and their eggs) and neonate snakes and so they have quite potent venom. They are quite capable of killing or paralyzing even a baby king snake since they are not immune to ringneck venom, and it takes far less venom than a rattlesnake uses on it's prey.

The only thing that makes rear fanged snakes any less dangerous than other venomous snakes is the difficulty in effectively delivering the venom, and the fact that they do not usually use venom as a defense. Instead they release it as a feeding response only, as a general rule.

Light is light and dark is dark why mess about with people's body clocks .... after all .... there's no real 'extra' sunlight.

It's pretty silly, isn't it?
I think it's a personal preference thing whether one wants more daylight in the morning or in the afternoon

Strictly speaking, light is light and dark is less light.
