Do you think that they think every other creature has a fucked up looking face, or do they have no idea they look the way they do? Every other time they meet another sand boa are they like “Jesus Christ, what happened to him??”
"how do these motherfuckers see the light filtering through the sand when they're burrowing?!? Are they just blindly burrowing? How do they even tell when prey is near with their eyes buried?"
Please, please use a spoiler tag or cw for close-up pictures of snakes. A lot of people suffer from ophidiophobia and this is a big jump scare. Thank you for understanding!
E: That includes me. I had to cover up the post to reply--it's that bad. I'm neither mentally prepared or wealthy enough to go to therapy. Not sure why the downvotes for advocating for some sympathy.
I appreciate what you’re saying, and did not downvote you. I think you may be underestimating how many phobias exist in the world, though. It may benefit you to have an app that filters images on your device. I’m pretty sure that exists. Everyone trying to add spoiler tags or whatever to every image that might trigger a common phobia would hide more images than you might think.
At thumbnail scale this particular one also resembles a very tasty looking bread roll.
Bishlamek gurpgorp!
