[quote]Dean Qiongxiu, 66, said she discovered the reptile clinging to the wall of her bedroom with its talons in the middle of the night.
"I woke up and heard a strange scratching sound. I turned on the light and saw this monster working its way along the wall using his claw," said Mrs Duan of Suining, southwest China.
Mrs Duan said she was so scared she grabbed a shoe and beat the snake to death before preserving its body in a bottle of alcohol.
The snake – 16 inches long and the thickness of a little finger – is now being studied at the Life Sciences Department at China's West Normal University in Nanchang.
Snake expert Long Shuai said: "It is truly shocking but we won't know the cause until we've conducted an autopsy."
A more common mutation among snakes is the growth of a second head, which occurs in a similar way to the formation of Siamese twins in humans.
Such animals are often caught and preserved as lucky tokens but have very little chance of surviving in the wild anyway, especially as the heads have a tendency to attack each other. [/quote]

If I woke up in the middle of the night and saw that clinging to my wall I'd fucking shit my pants.
Dang it, i was just about to post this, but yea, it is very strange and I agree, I would shit my pants if i saw it clinging to my wall
-cocks-
soon they will walk amongst men.
Looks more like it swallowed something with a leg. You can see a visible gurth around the leg but that could be something else.
I've seen a snake with two tails before but a snake with an claw that can grab? That's a very odd mutation.
In school they told us that snakes used to have legs like lizards, and they even still have the muscles for them in their bodies but just aren't born with feet. So maybe this one somehow had the genes for it or something. I dunno.

... and we shall great them with open arms!
What have you done Kojima?
That's fascinating. Snakes don't even have any appendages to begin with, which makes the growth of a claw all the more interesting.

But they used to long ago.
I don't use to post like this, but damn they find strange things in China.

Yea, and we used to have gills, your point?
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;17324611]Yea, and we used to have gills, your point?[/QUOTE]
Lol gills.
My point is that since they used to have them, it's not all that surprising. I mean, it's still interesting, just not a shock.

Yeah those tiny little nail-stubs-whatever things totally aren't proof or anything.

That sure explains how it was using it to cling to the wall
Oh wait no it doesn't
Yeah, you should show this to every christian you meet, tell them to disprove evolution now.

Or maybe the woman was freaking out and imagined it, and it was actually on her dresser or whatever.
OR maybe it's a result of a crazy scientific experiment to make snakes into people WHO KNOWS

Damnit.
That is some cool shit! VERY interesting!
I love snakes.
What the fuck is wrong with China?
3rd world and 2nd world countries: All the interesting mutation happens and the animal gets beaten to death.
I guess their vestigial structures might come in handy for them someday.
What cant you find in china?

China isn't a third world country...
This is actually nothing big. All snakes still got tiny, tiny feet lying flat along their belly. Claws and everything.
