So I like snakes, but why do these things gimme the creeps? He is very pretty though.
Maybe because I don't like eels, they give me the willys! Hmm i'm weird. 450lb tiger doesn't phase me, but a little eel or tiny bug... I run away screaming! lol

I think it is the fins that creep you out. Snakes don't have them.

That is a very cool fish BTW!

It has very tiny teeth that you never see, even when it's eating chopped up tilapia fillet and shrimp.
