Because Slashdot memes were mentioned in the story, are Slashdot memes exactly off-topic?

You did intend to do that... no? Well, at least it managed to be self descriptive.

That's not entirely true. There's one snake (Pailsus pailsei) here that isn't poisonous. Mind you, it survives by imitating a Brown Snake, which is.

Your nutrients are derived
From those so kin to me
Yesterday, Mus musculus frolicked by you
Today, the sweet smell of you absorbing his tiny brain
Your large pitcher, an inviting opening
But oh, the Musmanity!
For it is full of your digestive fluids
But wait, rain approaches
Your operculum must spring forth, like an umbrella
But all is fell, your pseudo-stomach is full
Enjoy the rain, my sweet
For one can only hope, you avoid your own pitfall.
