But the Arabian sand boa is well known to be the most predatory of snakes:
ETA: This is a joke. I don’t think there is a “most predatory snake” (though I guess you could argue that egg-eaters are least predatory?). I just like their goofy faces.
Those eyes are not forward-facing in the same way our eyes, or the eyes of a wolf, are forward-facing. And I said that the statement is mammal-centric, not that it can never be true for any other animals than mammals.
Sorry, it was a joke to show off a goofy-looking snake. I’m pretty sure their eyes are actually positioned like that because they are fossorial, I don’t think snakes rely on their eyesight much at all.

Well, seeing this goober has been delightful. Silly looking creature.
