Because they’re picking up the morning papers today (with their mouth probably, not sure how else they’d do it) and reading some very bad news indeed . A new study published in Scientific Advances is warning that a highly infectious disease, known to affect a handful of snake species in the US and Europe, could soon become a global pandemic. So this is like their bird flu, only for snakes. The fungal infection is caused by a pathogen called Ophidiomyces ophidiodiicola, which causes legions on the unfortunate snake’s skin. If the snake is able to molt fast enough, it will get rid of the infection from its body, and it will often spend more time in the sun to try and speed the process up. However, this means that it is more vulnerable to predators - and even then, the extra molting is not always enough to prevent the situation becoming fatal. https://www.shortlist.com/news/snakes-death-pandemic-fungus-infection-world/339046 |
