Ohh!! So sorry for the confusion, then! I was just going off of what I've seen. I guess what I read was false information? I honestly don't remember, but if needed I can change/update this to just cover all snakes in general? :0 Since people interpret him differently, that might be better anyways! Im always happy to share info about snakes anyways :)!
HEY SNAKE JANUS WRITERS!
I see a LOT of incorrect information when people depict Janus as “half-snake” so I want to clear some things up! And in case you’re wondering, I took a herpetology class and am basing most of my information off of my lessons as well as things I’ve learned outside of class! Warning this is a little long but if you want to learn more about snakes and write snake Janus more accurately, then here you go!

Oh really? :0 im just going off of what people have said. I heard that Thomas said that he's a ball python but I didn't actually check for myself, so that might be my mistake!

HEY SNAKE JANUS WRITERS!
I see a LOT of incorrect information when people depict Janus as “half-snake” so I want to clear some things up! And in case you’re wondering, I took a herpetology class and am basing most of my information off of my lessons as well as things I’ve learned outside of class! Warning this is a little long but if you want to learn more about snakes and write snake Janus more accurately, then here you go!
First of all, I believe (correct me if I’m wrong) that he’s based off of a ball python. It’s easy to assume that his vision would work as a thermal camera sort of thing, but that is not true! Ball pythons have heat pits, which are the holes along their mouths which sense heat, in particular body heat, so they can hone in on their prey. As for what colors they see, they have dichromatic vision, they can only see two colors. It's unclear exactly which colors ball pythons can and can't see, as we can't look through their eyes. But research suggests they can probably perceive blue and green. In general, ball pythons can’t see very well, in general snakes will rely on smell, but not always. A completely blind snake will smell and feel more, and if they have heat pits also rely on those. Ball pythons are short sighted, and also have trouble focusing on things that dont move. Side note: When a snake has slit pupils, it means they are nocturnal! Not all snakes are nocturnal, such as corn snakes who are diurnal and have rounded pupils.
Fang time! And teeth time in general. Actually Jaw Time. So, a snake’s jaw doesn’t actually unhinge. Instead, their lower jaw is in two parts that move independently to help them swallow their prey. In general their mouths and the muscle around it is flexible to help them swallow prey larger than their heads. All snakes have curved teeth, apart from egg eaters which have no teeth at all. Their teeth are curved back, and as a result they will always swallow things whole, they cannot chew. If a nonvenomous snake bites you, the most harm you’ll get is a few pinpricks unless it’s a rather big snake. The reason they have these curved teeth is to latch onto prey! Only venomous snakes have those front fangs, by the way! There’s also three different types of those fangs! - Rearfanged teeth and venomous fangs near the rear of the mouth, common in False Water Cobras and Hognoses - Front fanged venomous fangs are near the front, and what most people recognize.  - Rotating fanged venomous snakes have front fangs, that are hinged and retractable. They are most common in vipers, but can also be present in rattlesnakes, adders, and gaboon vipers.
NOW for the cold blooded nonsense. This is what bothers me the most, and I don’t blame any of you for getting this confused since I didn’t know this before either. Being cold blooded does NOT mean they are cold and will constantly seek out heat. Being cold blooded simply means that they don’t have a constant body temperature like we do, meaning they have to go to warmer or colder areas to level their body temperature. If a snake is in hot temperature for too long, it’ll overheat like any other animal. They’re more well known to like hotter temperatures, but they will seek out cooler areas to not overheat if they feel they’re getting too hot. If a snake is sick, though, it may stay in the heat and burn itself because of this. It’s true that snakes will get sluggish if it’s too cold, but depending on the temperature and the kind of snake it is, they usually won’t die. Snakes go through brumation, and during brumation you’d think they’d starve or dehydrate, but you’d be wrong. Snakes in general don’t move much, and are very opportunistic feeders, meaning if food’s there, they’ll eat it. But in brumation, they don’t have to eat because they aren’t moving much and that conserves their energy. They will move for water if they absolutely need it, but they can survive in cold temperatures despite what you may think. Unless it’s below a temperature they can survive at, then it’s an issue.
On the topic of feeding, usually a domesticated snake only needs to eat once a week or every other week. Again, they don’t move much unless they’re inquisitive, and again opportunistic feeders. With ball pythons though, because of their heat pits, will refuse colder food items. They need something warm to sense that it’s probably body heat depending on the food item.
I think that covers everything! At least everything I see in fanfiction and such :)! If you have any questions i’d be more than happy to answer for you! It was fun to write this and I hope you liked this! Herpetology is confusing, and fanfiction is fanfiction, so I don’t expect 100% accuracy, I just think this is fun and that some writers will benefit from this!

Just a quick reminder that Patton telling Roman they loved him and Roman being unwilling to hear him does NOT mean Patton wasn’t being genuine. 
The giving and receiving of love has to go both ways, and you cannot FORCE someone to accept your love. 
I see a lot of posts right now seeming to imply that Virgil’s actions in the Asides mean he is the only one who really loves Roman and I’m sorry, that’s just…not…true? 
Janus was manipulating him, yes (no hate on Janus, I love the dude, but that’s kind of his MO). 
But Patton was not.  
Roman not being in a place to hear, understand, or accept the love and comfort Patton was trying to give him does NOT mean that Patton’s love was disingenuous or “fake.” It just meant that Roman was not in a good place to receive it.

I think I need a small break. I feel really bad about this after months of not writing, but everything has been going downhill for me and my mental health is. Horrible. Ive tried continuing to write this chapter but i cant everything is just. Really hard for me right now. So this chapter may take longer. Super sorry about all of this

another update because i completely forgot about this!!! Its probably gonna be a bit longer I completely forgot to plan around my birthday ^^'''
These past few days ive been busy seeing different family cause of this and then tomorrow we're doing my actual birthday so i havent gotten a ton of writing done! i'll try to get back to writing maybe a few days afterwards but I figured I'd let people know about why its taking longer than it should!
I'm sleeping soon but just a lil update! This next chapter might take a bit longer because i had an idea that i liked alot more and so I'm rewriting alot of it (but i'm probably gonna save what i have written for a future chapter since it is important- just not right now) but yeah! im having fun with this, and its been alot of fun researching snakes and soon i'll be researching spiders too for this chapter ;)!
