Can you do a tutorial/ref to the different type of snake heads? I've noticed that Python heads seem to have one shape, but other species will have other shapes, and I was wondering if you could do a handy guide to the different sort of snake faces.

friend, pythons are a beautiful and diverse family…here, let’s meet some:
but there are many, many snakes out there, and all of them have unique shapes
the short-tail face should be called “side of beef” hahaha!!!

It’s the Spider-tailed Horned Viper (Pseudocerastes urarachnoides)! Spiders, snakes, horns… it’s a match made in heaven! Yes, heaven.
They come from dry, mountainous areas of western Iran where they use their rocky colours for camouflage.
Their tail ends in a bizarre affair featuring elongated spines. The snake wriggles this thing about so that it looks just like a spider running around in the open. When a bird comes along hoping for a snack, they get rather more than they bargained for.
Yikes! Heaven is pretty scary.
