I absolutely hat snakes. I hate their elongated legless bodies.
Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes.

Snake
Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca.
Burton's legless lizard
Burton's legless lizard ("Lialis burtonis") is a species of lizard in the family Pygopodidae. The species lacks forelegs and has only rudimentary hind legs. Pygopodid lizards are also referred to as "legless lizards", "flap-footed lizards" and "snake-lizards". This species is endemic to Australia and Papua New Guinea. The specific name, "burtonis", is in honour of British army surgeon Edward Burton (1790–1867). Burton’s legless lizard ("Lialis burtonis") is a member of the genus "Lialis" within the family Pygopodidae. There are approximately 40 species in the family Pygopodidae, however, Burton’s legless lizard and another species ("L. jicari") are the only species that fall within genus "Lialis".
Hooded scaly-foot
The hooded scaly-foot, "Pygopus nigriceps", is an endemic Australian legless lizard of the Pygopodidae family. Adult hooded scaly-foots range from 45 to 55 cm long, with an average snout to vent length of 22.7 cm. Females are generally larger than males. Hooded scaly-foots show no trace of forelimbs, whilst the hind limbs are reduced to scaly flaps. These hind limbs are small and paddle-shaped, with modified scales which do not aid in movement. The scales of the hooded scaly-foot are smooth and weakly glossed. Usually, it has 120 or more ventral scales, which are in a paired series, much larger than the adjacent body scales.
Gate Petroleum
Gate Petroleum is a privately held diversified corporation headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the 11th largest in Florida in 2010. In FY 2008, the company ranked #338 on the Forbes list of America's Largest Private Companies. According to "Forbes", it had sales of $1.44 billion and employed approximately 3,500 people, while "Jacksonville Business Journal" indicated 2,200 employees in that same year. Herbert Hill Peyton started the company in 1960 with a single gas station on Jacksonville's Northside. The company grew during the 1960s with additional stations in the southeast United States.
Lizard
Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 6,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group is paraphyletic as it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia which are also squamates. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3 meter long Komodo dragon. Most lizards are quadrupedal, running with a strong side-to-side motion. Others are legless, and have long snake-like bodies. Some such as the forest-dwelling "Draco" lizards are able to glide. They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with brightly colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals.
Fiat 500L
The Fiat 500L is a five-door, five passenger, front-engine, front-wheel drive, high-roof B-segment MPV (i.e., small minivan) manufactured in Kragujevac, Serbia by the Fiat subdivision of FCA — and marketed globally since its debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Based on a variant of the "FCA Small Wide platform", the 500L uses Fiat's Multiair variable valve timing engine technology and cab forward architecture: a packaging concept that prioritizes passenger and cargo volume. The 500L is noted for its high H-point seating, high roof, tall greenhouse and wide field of visibility — and its reconfigurable interior system marketed as "Cargo Magic Space".
Natural history of Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago are continental islands with a geologically very recent history of direct land bridge connection to South America. As a result, unlike most of the Caribbean Islands, Trinidad and Tobago supports a primarily South American flora and fauna and has greater diversity of plant and animal species than the Antilles. However, rates of endemism are lower than in the rest of the Caribbean because there has been less time for genetic isolation from mainland populations because of the history of land bridge connections and hence fewer opportunities for speciation, and so a greater proportion of the species in Trinidad and Tobago are also found on the South American mainland.

Snakes yes not my favourite reptile, some people keep them as pets I've heard?
