Re: I made a Gopher Snake Music VIDEO
Do the non venomous snakes have fixed open pupils?
I read an article that subterraneous snakes have fixed pupils for better night and underground vision. And the rattlesnakes have variable pupils for adjusting to either night/underground or above ground daylight.
Any merit to this?
