I hate snakes, they are carnivorous reptiles and they are nasty
If they are poisonous then I definitely fear them, but they look cool to me and don't seem so nasty to me like bugs and stuff. I respect your view though.
They are ectothermic, and covered in overlapping scales. So gross.
I guess I can see the gross aspect since they crawl around all the time. non venomous snakes kill either through eating prey alive or constriction.
Most snakes can swallow their prey that is much larger than them
Yes, that is an ability that I find impressive. Their fossil records however, are generally poor because their skeletons are usually small and fragile.
Legless lizards can sometimes be confused with snakes, but they aren't the same.
I was not aware of that. I have heard that all modern snakes are grouped in the suborder of serpentes in Linnean taxonomy.
I didn't know that! Snakes are found on every continent except Antartica!
That's fascinating the environment is extreme there. Some examples of legless lizards are the slowworm and glass snake.
