@elduvelle snakes do not use legs for walkies :) modern snakes in general do not have legs but pythons and boas (considered to be basal snakes) do have vestigial hind legs/limbs. From what I gathered, the vestigial hind limbs are used to aid in mating and holding onto tree branches

#introduction #ttrpg

I'm also a lover of photography, art and finding out more about #animals, #fish, #birds #birding #insects #reptiles and #dinosaurs #palentology. My interests in #numenera #cyphersystem #ultraviolentgrasslands #UVG #ElectricBastion and #traveller were both because I'm interested in the development of fictional worlds the more bizarro, weird and left open for expansion. But I also enjoyed Uresia, Unknown Armies, Over the Edge and even grim dark like Warhammer Fantasy.
