Realistic version of cockscomb snake

The cockscomb snake is a fictional creature recorded in ancient Chinese folklore and ancient books. Legend has it that it is in the east and south of China. It should be pointed out that the common name of chameleon is also called "cockscomb snake". According to China folklore, a cockscomb snake has a rooster-like crown, which is more than feet long and several inches in circumference. It has different body colors and can stand upright. This snake is extremely poisonous. Forests and cemeteries are all over the north and south of China, including Dashanzhong and Daping Reservoir in Huangshan Mountain, Anhui Province (Wudang Mountain in the southeast and Shennongjia in the south), Wofo Mountain in Bohai Town, Huairou District, Gui 'an County, Hubei Province, Dashandong woodland in Dongshankou Village, Sujiatun District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, Tonghua in Fengcheng, Sichuan Province, Guigui Mountain in Guangshui, Hubei Province, Jiaodong, Hunan Province and Anhui Province.

Extended data

The cockscomb snake, usually called "pheasant neck", is not a tiger-spotted neck snake.

Some people think that the cockscomb snake is an ancient snake. Small snakes are white and will turn red when they grow up. Snakes have a special life habit. Because of their survival instinct, if this snake is still alive, it is more likely to be in China, because China has already recorded relevant myths.

In the story handed down, if you see a cockscomb snake in the wild, it will immediately pursue it. At this time, passers-by can only run, but what should I do? The best way is to take off your shoes and throw them into the sky. At this time, the cockscomb snake will jump up and compare with the shoes. If the shoe is higher than it, the cockscomb snake will get angry, but if it is not, it will attack it.

The tiger-spotted snake has a red neck and a poisonous gland crown on the back of its head. When threatened, it will prop up its front half and spray venom from the poisonous glands on its neck, which is very scary. But in fact, it is not poisonous, and it is a weak poisonous snake. Because of the poisonous glands on its neck, ordinary snakes dare not offend it (there are cases in which Agkistrodon halys prey on cockscomb snakes and are poisoned by themselves), which is also in line with the rumor of its "snake king".
