Todays Snake Is:

The Variegated Slug-eater (Duberria variegata) is a nonvenomous found in Mozambique and South Africa. Like other members of its genus, these secretive snakes specialize in feeding on slugs and snails and give birth to live young.  When threatened, they will curl in a shell-like spiral to protect their head.
