The Weird Herp Thread

[Pareeeee]

Post the weirdest herps (reptiles or amphibians) you can! Can be either your own photos or ones found on the net. Please post the name of the herp along with the photo (if you can).

I'll start:

Phrynocephalus mystaceus. Looks like something from a sci-fi movie.

I've always found the Rhinoceros Ratsnake to be odd, simply because of the seemingly useless (to my knowledge) horn they possess.

Photos and the animals belong to Cobras Serpentes. Website link is here: Cobras Serpentes: Rinoceronte Ratsnake (Rhynchophis boulengeri) (http://cobrasserpentes.blogspot.com/2012/10/rinoceronte-ratsnake-rhynchophis.html)

Morelia Carinata...

Only python on the planet with keeled scales... longest teeth per body size ratio, forward binocular vision.

Not really weird... more in the unique category.

How kewl!
The toad is just hilarious. :D

I wonder if that tail ornamentation on the Pseudocerastes urarachnoides serves as a lure?

Yes it does, they bait with it. Its a bad picture, but if you google it, it really looks a lot like a spider.

[Bloutitt]

This is like the coolest thread on here :D
Id say the Elephant Trunk Snake is pretty weird! There skin is like 3 sizes to big xD

Also I heard that they are completely aquatic, and constrict their prey in the water!
