A question I have been asked (reptile related)

[Martin Butterfield <>]

I suspect the answer would depend on just how tight the hole is.  

Certainly they get into big trouble if they try to reverse on bird netting as the scales don't let them reverse.  I suspect in a really tight hole they could get stuck in the same way.

I have an undeserved reputation at work as a natural history expert. Here's one I have been asked: can a snake reverse, that is if it goes down a narrow hole where it can't turn round, can it come out backwards?
