Top 10 Coffee Snakes

Mmmmmmmmmmmm........... coffee. It's warm, it's a drug, and it goes sploosh in your stomach.


But this post isn't about coffee, it's about snakes.

In my post "Top 10 Kinds of Snakes," I ranked the genus Ninia as #1. Since there are 10 species in the genus Ninia, I thought today I would rank them. Before we get started, let's talk about Ninia snakes all together: they are native to Mexico, Central America, and the northern part of South America. They are commonly referred to as coffee snakes, hence the name of this post.

10. Ninia franciscoi
It breaks my heart to rank any kind of coffee snake last, but seeing as I couldn't find any pictures of this species, I have to rank them here. Time to go into my mud hut and cry for seventeen days!

9. Ninia celata
I couldn't find a better picture, sorry. But it's still beautiful.

8. Ninia atrata
Also called Hallowell's coffee snake. It's wearing a red choker, which is SO 2006, but it's still a gorgeous specimen.

7. Ninia psephota
These are called cope's snake or checkered snake. Look at the pattern on this tiny man!

6. Ninia diademata
A yellow scarf! Ooh mama, this snake is trendy. Ninia "I WILL sssteal your man" diademata is not here to play. Look out, world!


5. Ninia espinali
Sssleek. Ssstylish. Sssexy.

4. Ninia pavimentata
Named after a cross of pavement and titties, this snake is my fourth favorite coffee snake. Its grayscale has me swooning, and its eyes scream D E S T R U C T I O N. Yay!

3. Ninia hudsoni
The white collar clashes with the sleek black scales. Wow! This snake's coloration, unlike the other coffee snakes with a band around their neck, is timeless. White truly does go with everything! This snake's name also reminds me of the Hudson River, so yeah.

2. Ninia maculata
This snake is the one I featured in my last blog post! Look at her!

1. Ninia sebae
In first place, we have the red coffee snake. I truly do love all coffee snakes, but this red one really stole my heart. It looks like is a brick had sex with the snake from Heaven that convinced Eve to eat that apple, and I am head-over-heels in love with it. Ninia sebae? More like Ninia seBAE.

I know this is over, but I want to leave you all with one bonus image because these snakes are so cute. This is a tiny baby Hallowell's coffee snakes. I know they were ranked at #8, but I love all species of coffee snakes and just want to share how cute they are!!


Peace, love, coffee snakes,

Fun Snake Facts For Adults

There are so many lists of fun facts for kids, but why aren't there fun facts for adults? Adults can have fun. Adults deserve  to have fun. Adulthood isn't terrifying, and I'm definitely not using this to distract myself of an oncoming existential crisis. Let's get to the fun (adult) facts! 1. Snakes don't have eyelids. Right off the bat, snakes can't close their eyes because they don't have eyelids! This means they sleep with their eyes open. Don't you wish you could sleep right now? Isn't adulthood exhausting? 2. Snakes have flexible jaws so they can eat food bigger than their head. Just like you, snakes can bite off more than they can chew. Actually, snakes can't bite or chew, but you get my point. Don't you feel so overwhelmed right now? Life is a prison. 3. A decapitated head of a snake can still bite for several hours after death. Doesn't this remind you of the person you thought you cut off who still manages to hurt you? T...

Snake skin?

Today I will be answering a very important question: "Snake skin?" This question means a lot to me since I am a snake enthusiast. Have fun! Skin is a stretchy fabric, but it's alive. It covers all living things until it gets too small and falls off. Someone once told me that skin is the largest organ in the body. I didn't know what an organ was, but a quick search showed me it was this: look at this organ Neat! A handy acronym to remember what skin is, is Skeet sKeet Inter Net. I'm not sure how it relates to skin, but make sure to remember that! On to snake skin. Snake skin is really fun because snakes shed it! You can find this skin later and sell it in the black market for $6. Some products like clothes, bags, and shoes are made of snakeskin, which this publication (MAD) strongly disagrees with. Clothing made of animals doesn't really make sense, both economically and in terms of snakes. Anway, I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Make su...
