  1. It's even worse when you have no limbs:

    Extreme closeup of Dumeril's boa, Ankarafantsika, Madagascar The suspense of walking in a dry forest full of with life, where every step something rushes away and you hope it's not deadly. Luckily, in Madagascar, nothing is deadly, not even this enormous Dumeril's Boa that is sliding through the dry leafs. <br />
<br />
Check out the mosquitoes, some blood-filled, that are plaguing this snake. Without any body parts to chase them of and with snakes being in stealth mode most of the time, this must truly be a major annoyance. Full length:<br />

    1. Yes, I can imagine. But the Lizards with limbs doesn't seems to be bothered by the mosquitoes.
      Aside from mosquitoes, leeches can be much worse!
