Pure toxins are typically colorless, white, tan, or yellow solids. Venoms—crude mixtures of toxins and other natural chemicals produced by animals such as snakes, spiders, and scorpions—are colorless to yellow or brown liquids. 

They passed through the far gates of the city suddenly, they were out in the open. The road snaked in front of them as far as the eye can see, over the flat Zemgale plain toward Lithuania, a brown-soil sea of farmland and tundra uninterrupted for eighty miles except for Lilliputian farmhouses, patches of bog, and scattered copses.

Neonate garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis, and brown snakes distinguish conspecific from heterospecific odors (Burghardt 1977, 1983). Newborn timber rattlesnakes, Crotalus horridus, are able to follow conspecific odor trails (Brown and MacLean, 1983). Neonate water snakes are attracted to conspecific odor (Scudder et ah, 1980) and neonate prairie rattlesnakes, Crotalus viridis, to lipoids from the epidermis of adult conspecifics (Graves etal., 1987).

Ololiuhqui in Nahuatl is the name of the seeds, not of the plant that yields the seeds. The word means round thing, and the seeds are small, brown, and oval. The plant itself is a climber, called appropriately coaxihuitl, snake-planf, in Nahuatl, and hiedra or bejicco by the Spanish writers. It is a morning glory, and it grows easily and abundantly in the mountains of southern Mexico. Unlike teonanacatl, it bears seed over months, and the seed can be kept indefinitely and carried far and wide to regions where the plant itself does not grow.

False Garters Generally, you can recognize these uncommon snakes by tbe pattern of yellow stripes on a black or brown background. Although the pattern is variable, it usually consists of a narrow stripe down the middle of the back and a broad stripe on each side. Between the center and each side stripe are two rows of alternating black spots.
