Description
From the "Grotesques and Arabesques Series". Baskin turns this non-venomous South African snake into a menacing creature - a "mole" with almost human arms and claw-like hands.
The molesnake's primary food source is golden moles and other small mammals. It can grow over 6 feet in length. It, in turn, is prey for the Honey Badger, late of Youtube fame.
