what's a puff notice, please?

When the African Puff Adder (Bitis arietans) is disturbed, it puffs itself up to appear larger than its normal size. Being larger than life makes it more likley to be noticed by others. When this occurs, it is known as "puff notice." TheContrarian obviously wished to behave in a manner different from that of serpents, hence the lack of a "Bio" in the Profile.
