Its the season for hefty doses of neoteny he's absolutely perfect, lets name him Dewey.
Re: Cutest lil snake of all
Super cute indeed. Nice shots too, as usual.
Re: Cutest lil snake of all
Wow, that little guy is only a few days, if not hours, old- it still has its egg tooth!
Very cool find and great photos!

Thanks for looking and commenting!
Jon, VanAR - thanks for pointing it out. Didn't notice the egg tooth earlier Should be a young hatchling rather than a sub-adult then.

Re: Cutest lil snake of all
I saw the egg tooth and immediantly thought of Van - I did!
But I am searching for the word for the human (and other mammals) response to babies, and neonatal tinyness and big head, big eyed baby features. I dont think neotenic is exactly it, but i can find no other word for that response.
What is it?
