I was looking at my palm trying to figure out the size of the world's smallest snake. According to the news, the world smallest snake is just as thin as spaghetti noodle and only measures under four inches in length as an adult. Yay! it's really small. I'm just wondering if this snake is poisonous and if its bite could kill a person in an instant. You know how people sometimes say, "
great things comes in small packages". I hope this is not one of those described by that phrase. It would be so scary walking somewhere and you never know that there's this kind of snake. For one thing its aweful small. The world's smallest snake was recently discovered on the eastern side of Barbados, by Blair Hedges, an evolutionary biologist at Penn State. The said snake is a new species of thread snake, now called as
Leptotyphlops carlae. I would love to see one for real (in a safe environment, maybe in a science display). You can read more about this news
