have you seen the snake that is so specialized to eat snails with a right-hand-spiral that it takes 2-4x as long to eat LH-spiral snails... and sometimes just plain can't use its normal trick to eat them at all! the snake has an asymetrical head, including different teeth and jaw development!

apparently there is more than one species and they probably belongs to the subfamily Pareatinae [1]

There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
