Oftentimes, yes. This time, no haha it just happened to work out. I'm only in PR for two days for the PR Herpetological Symposium and these nails are two weeks old but I didn't have time to do a new set before I left! I do them myself so each set takes me like 3-4 hours haha

I guess you specifically said snakes - sorry! But same answer ultimately applies. Like there may be some studies showing individual snake species increasing in overall size (I would have to do some digging), but I don't believe any evidence backs that it is happening for all snake species.

To the best of my knowledge, no evidence suggests that anthropogenic/modern-day climate change is driving overall increases in reptile body size (like in the clade overall), however some studies have found overall increases for specific species. Some studies have also said that reptiles will shrink!
