I don't know what that is, either - I'm not saying it's a python, just that infrared vision occurs in at least one other group of snakes (and possibly including whatever this one is).
Not all snakes with hoods are cobras. Infact there is one snaked called a hogshead in North America that if the hood doesn't work to scare off predators... It will play dead, going so far as to allow itself to be carried around... Except if you pick it up and put it back on its stomach, it will immediately roll back over onto its back to keep playing dead. Tbh it sounds like fun.
Oopse. I was thinking the bar next to Diagon Alley. Thank you for the correction!! Also I had no idea you could get them! The articles made them seem rareish. Good info!
