So I got bit by a snake a week or two ago.  After that, the raggedy scab where it bit me kept on snagging on stuff and hurting like a real MF.    I decided to examine the area more closely and found a few tiny splinter-like  dealies sticking out every so slightly from my skin.  They were so small that regular tweezers were not enough.  I petitioned the wife for better ones and she delivered.   What I extracted looked like this:

Can you believe it?  An entire penny lodged in my finger?  Ok – the penny is just there for scale to illustrate how incredibly freaking small a SNAKE TOOTH can be.  I had a couple of these buggers stuck in me and they really hurt.  Case closed.   Let’s talk about what we’ve learned here today:

  1. Pennies look big when the camera gets close.
  2. Snakes teeth still look pretty small when the camera gets close.
  3. It takes about 40 shots to get a good snake tooth photo.
