The nose/smell?

How many people still use that?

My eyesight ain't all that good.

Which enhances all of my other senses.

Hell yes, I do !!! I can smell a Rattlesnake or Water Moccasin from about 2-3 meters and Copperheads at about 1 !! Amazingly, I still have very good hearing and only need reading glasses (the age thing!!).

AM, what do those snakes smell like? I had no idea they could be sniffed out.

First, you tell me what a Peach smells like and how could I tell the difference between it and an Apple by the smell !!! Keep in mind that you need to explain it to me and I have NEVER smelled either before !!

This is not something that can be explained in this type of forum, nor in even a face to face discourse, but only in a hands on practical exercise.

Not being a smart ass here, but there is no other answer to that question !!

Only when cooked.

That's plenty good enough explanation, AM. With snakes being predators, I somehow had just assumed they would be odorless relative to their surroundings so they could hunt without mice sniffing them out, too. Next time I visit a reptile exhibit I'll be sure to get a whiff and compare.
