A good stretch before bed time is always good for maintaining one's constitution (just don't overdo it).

Thanks, Rich. It was looking for minnows. When it spotted something, it would try to move closer and then get low with its neck coiled to strike.

Thanks, Chris. These guys have quite a reach for grabbing prey. I'm not sure how many vertebrae they have in their necks. :)

Then they can coil it up like they have no neck at all. :confused:
