tiger_moranPeriodically I return to working on this essay I started writing about Moriarty and various symbolism connected to him (which has managed to cover everything from personifications of Death to Punch and Judy to the Alice stories to The Cure) and today I've been reading about reptiles.
"Ritual combat [in snakes] between males for the females they want to mate with includes topping, a behavior exhibited by most viperids in which one male will twist around the vertically elevated fore body of its opponent and force it downward. It is common for neck-biting to occur while the snakes are entwined." x
Moriarty is a top, confirmed!
