Reptiles

It just dawned on me that snakes must really have a tough life. First, and probably most obvious, they don't have any hands. That is just weird. Well, maybe not necessarily 'hands', but just appendage or something. That's gotta be tough for eating and stuff. I wonder if all snakes look the same to each other too. Like say you were a snake and you had kids or whatever, would you be able to tell them apart? And what the hell is up with snakes and evolution? I know that there were like turtles and sharks millions of years ago and they have remained pretty much the same through a long period of time because they were well adapted to their environments, but snakes? C'mon! I wonder how long snakes have been around for...I would assume that they are pretty old because they're reptiles and old animals always turn out to be reptiles. Like dinosaurs, or as I call them, 'Thunder Lizards'. That whole reptile/scale thing is weird too. I wonder if its possible to de-scale a lizard...would they be like pink and fleshy underneath? Man, that is pretty sick and I'm sorry I thought of that. That's just horrible.

Hmm, I donno the answers to those questions, but I used to pick up snakes and lizards as a kid, and I can tell you that they do not like it when little girls make houses for them out of cut up Hostess cupcake boxes, even if they have plenty of windows and doors.  Also, lizards probably don't appreciate when little girls hold them by the tail and half of it comes off.  Little girls don't dig having the still-moving tails in their hands much, either.
