#blunt headed tree snakes
Note
There’s this one kind of snake I can’t remember the name of that looks really silly. Its body is super thin and the head is disproportionately huge, I feel like it has vine somewhere in the name but I could be wrong
Do you know what it’s called? Sorry, I know this is a weird question
I believe you are thinking of blunt-headed tree snakes (genus Imantodes)! They have super skinny bodies to stay lightweight up in trees, but their heads are huge in comparison so they can eat bigger prey (mostly insects and lizards).
Quit lookin at me with them big ol eyes

Blunt-Headed Tree Snakes
These snakes are known for their long, slender bodies and very large heads. Their pupils are very distinct from other snakes. Most snakes found around the world are known to have very poor vision and rely mostly on their smell and vibrations to detect signs of prey and predators. Arboreal snakes have much better vision among other classes of snakes. Blunthead tree snakes on the other hand, have vertical slits for pupils which allow for the snake to look down. This trait is what give the blunthead tree snake such an advantage over other snakes. Their eyes make up approximately 26% of its head.

I think the Blunt Headed Tree snake and the Arabian Sand Boa are two sides of the same coin. Blunt boy over here has GIGANTIC eyes, his vision is absolutely invasive, and because of this he looks very silly. The sand boa has the tiniest, stupidest, most shitily placed eyes known to man, and therefore also looks silly. They just can’t win.

I really love oddball snakes! The ones that have extremely unique looks that only makes sense once you learn about their prey or environment. Do you by any chance have some cool examples of this to share with us?
Totally!
Blunt-headed tree snakes are a great example. They look so strange, until you remember that they're little arboreal insect-eaters. They need to be light enough to stay up high in the trees, hence the super thin body, but they also want to maximize the size of prey they can eat (bigger prey = more nutrients), so they have really big heads so they can swallow bigger prey.
Arabian sand boas look like somone only vaguely familiar with the concept of snakes tried to draw one from memory.
But they look like that so they can burrow down into sand to wait for prey. Their eyes are far apart and at an angle so they can keep their eyes above the sand to look for food. And it works! Super well! Look at this picture of an Arabian sand boa in the sand - all you can see are those wide-set eyes!
Quill-snouted snakes have delightfully strange triangle-shaped heads that are excellent for digging!
Elephant trunk snakes look like if someone tried to melt a boa. Their skin looks super baggy, and that's because they actually use it to hunt! They use folds of their skin and special sharp scales to trap slippery prey like fish and keep it from escaping.

for @steddiemicrofic's prompt "pine"
Forest fire
508/M/content warning drug use.
“Dude, you're pining so much it's like staring at a forest.” Eddie turned his attention to the joint he was rolling, trying his hardest not to get distracted by his own hopeless one sided attraction.
Steve lolled his head, snaking his mop of hair into the side of Eddie's neck, tickling at the spot right under his chin.
“I don't get it?” he blinked up at Eddie, eyes hazy with the last round of weed.
“It's a pun. Pine tree, forest, your pining. Obviously moping over some unrequited love. Did Wheeler turn you down again?” Talk about self sabotage. Eddie wouldn't ever have Steve. He knew that, but he wanted him to be happy. So he would support him in his romantic endeavours. Cheer him along every step of the way. Even if it did feel like throwing himself on his own sword.
“What are you on about Eds?”
“You've been distant all night, practically tripping over that bottom lip of yours.”
Steve shuffled his head deeper into his shoulder, it wasn't snuggling.
Eddie had to keep telling himself that.
It was just cold, and Steve didn’t like to smoke joints in the house. The pool house, however, was very much in limits. It had become a regular thing for them both to curl up in the wicker chair and share space, air, breath…
Bad Eddie no, stop it.
Steve just craved touch when he was stoned, that was all.
He always seeks you out though. The traitorous part of his mind provided. It didn't help that Steve's breath was ghosting his cheek now as Steve tried to read his expression and understand his words.
The lip reading was also high on the list of things that were out to kill him.
Steve staring at his lips was sending all the wrong messages to his fragile brain. And Steve would stare all the time even when he was wearing the government issue hearing aids.
“I don't know why you keep bringing her up?” Steve whispered, eyes narrowing as Eddie lifted the joint to his own lips, lighting it and taking a hit. Without thinking he lowered the blunt to Steve to take a drag. He expected Steve to take it from his hand, but the younger man lent in taking a draw straight from Eddie's fingers, never once breaking eye contact, blowing the smoke back into Eddie's face on the exhale.
Fuck that was hot.
Eddie's brain really needed to fuck off.
“I know. That's why I did it.” Steve was staring straight at him when the smoke cleared, a mischievous grin on his face.
Brain to mouth filter? Not on Eddie's watch. Apparently.
He quickly pulled another hit trying to hide his flush, but Steve was watching every move.
“You should try that move on Nance.” Eddie coughed out.
Steve reached out gently, pulling them together until Eddie could feel Steve's lips ghosting his own.
“I tried it on you.” Steve rolled his eyes. “But apparently you can't see the wood for the pine trees.”
Oh… oh..

Orange and black are so in right now. Just take it from the common blunt-headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa). This nocturnal species uses its keen eyesight to hunt for prey including small lizards, frogs, and eggs. In fact, this snake’s “googly” eyes can measure up to 25% of the length of its head! It can be spotted slithering through the treetops in parts of Central and South America.
