Saving Up Your Poison


This is really cool. There is a snake in Japan that feasts on poisonous toads and actually sequesters the poison for itself. It stores it in its nuchal glads (over the back of the neck). When the snake is threatened it will express this glad. When the attacker breaks open this glad the poison is sprayed possibly blinding the attacker. Just awesome. Have a read.
