Consuming viscous prey: a novel protein-secreting delivery system in neotropical snail-eating snakes
BACKGROUND: Efficient venom delivery systems are known to occur only in varanoid lizards and advanced colubroidean snakes among squamate reptiles. Although components of these venomous systems might have been present in a common ancestor, the two lineages independently evolved strikingly different v...
