No

Clue for the day:

Clue for the day:

Their sexual dimorphism is so pronounced, that the two sexes were described as seperate species for a long time.

Hectic - well done Westley.
Very cool looking snake!
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it’ll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it’s not even funny.

Ok, something a lot easier. Westley, you are evil.
I may be blue, I may be green
But in this country
I'm not often seen

A harp in Roman, or a harp in Greek
I may be venomous
But I'm still kind of meek
