Biggest dinosaur myth: part 2

it's a pied reticulated python :D

they're definetly some of the neatest animals out there, especially the color paterns they've got these days

@MrHappy: Yes, I know.

@PK: That's because T.rex's bites are stronger. Theropods like Allosaurus didn't need a such strong bite force, because of their big gape. Tyrannosaurids' gape was relatively small if compared to Allosaurus', but it wasn't small as many people say - it's still pretty big. 

It is really cool, love its white head and eyes :)

@Gigadino. Exactly! That's what I was meaning to say. Just not as eloquently as you. ;)

@ Carnosaur, One referring to the musculature surrounding the neck connecting to the bridge of the spine as well, factoring in other components. I can see if I can find it at work tomorrrow and PM if you like.

Btw, love reticulated pythons. Do you own one. I worked with one at my work! (I work at both a zoo and a museum.)

sure, i'm sure i've read it just can't remember the name :P

i don't own one but i've worked with the mbefore, they're really intelligient and their natural color patterning is  almost jaw dropping

i love them. But my state hates them.

 Australian Representitive, Redbelly Black Snake 

And my personal favourite...

Oh my god that is a beautiful snake.

Snakes are so beautiful. one of my personal favorites. I work with a red tailed boa:

Also, what's the species of the last photo?

The California red sided garter snake.

Yep its a beauty!

i think it's named the san francisco garter snake.

red tailed boas are my dream snake, they're beautful animals

Actually TK, i think it might be a san francisco garter. Closely related and both garters but I believe they are a bit different.

It looks closer to the California red garter to me.

Very similar subspecies. Could be either.

Now are we sure there not synonymou?

pretty ure -- the san francisco garter has the scientific name -  Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia,

while the california red-sided garter is - T. s. parietalis

Irs funny how we are talking about snakes now
