Guess this snake must have lived just before the curse.

By the condition of the fossil bones. Mature bones look different from adolescent bones.
By the way, some snakes - boas for one, have a vestigal outer limb in the form of a small surface spur used by the males to stimulate the females during courtship.

Does he think that Romney believes Jesus Christ and Satan were brothers?

Clams are a simultaneous hermaphrodite and brood its young in the inner demibranchs. The gonads are ovotestes with oogenic and spermatogenic regions in each ascinus.
So a Clams mommy is some other clams daddy.

A snake that has just eaten another snake must be SO FULL!!!

I was thinking more on the line of one that eats a cow or horse as being most full....
No wonder they got rid of legs, it would be impossible to even walk with a gut load like that!

But that is just one big lump in the stomach. A snake that eats another snake has his entire digestive system filled with snake.

The real question is the terrestrial versus aquatic origin.
It will be interesting to see what this fossil lends to that. Perhaps it was wet swamp (sorry Genesisiacs - no dust there!!). Never had a snake that couldn’t swim - well!

This is just an extinct species of snake. All these evolutionists getting all excited over it, lol, the Lord does have a sense of humor doesn’t he.:)
“For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.”-Romans 1:21-22

Too bad Johnny Hart’s not around to read that.

He might find it disturbing. He liked to anthropomorphize animals and bivalves are not well suited for anthropomorphism!
