I keep coming back to this and scratching my head. I dunno, something just isn’t striking me as real.
I think it’s because the leg has that “mr. potato head” quality to it. I’m not saying it isn’t real, just that the leg almost looks stuck on top of that potato shaped growth beneath it.
How could it crawl on a wall with just one leg? :-/
snakes are incredibly strong at gripping things. If there was enough texture i could see it use it as an anchor for slithering.
It very well could be fake, i mean, it’s china, how could you prove it. I would hardly call the telegraph a reliable source. I file this under my “I believe it because I want to” clause.

I think trading in the locomotion was his first mistake. Or his progenitors first mistake. Or hell maybe the last of a long list of mistakes.

OMG Can you imagine?! I’d have nightmares for MONTHS! EWWWWWwwwww!!!!!!
