What are pink sidewinders?
Asked by Wiki User
I think that sidewinders have special scales on the underside that allow them to grip the sand and move easier. And they must have very well developed muscle to move sideways. The reason why they move sideways is so they get around quicker because it allows them not to deal with shifting sands. Some other topics you might want to look in to:
How their eyes cope with the dryness, how the young can handle harsh desert conditions, their scales, their diet, and how they cope with little food and water for their young and themselves. You also might want to look in to whether they are good mothers or not.

How much are old vinyl records worth?
Asked by Wiki User
Determining a vinyl record's value has many parts:
- condition of the record (scratches, etc)
- who or what group is recorded on the platter
- what year the recording was made
- which company made the recording (DGG, RCA, etc)
Each vinyl platter would have to be evaluated by one who is well versed in such things.
Given Blondie/Deborah Harry vinyl prices as an example:
an early 1976 12" album is worth $10;
a late 1998 (the year they switched to CD) vinyl album is also worth $10;
an early 1976 7" single is worth $20;
a late 1998 7" single is worth $5.00.
"Spiral Scratch", (1990/before CDs) the definite UK price guide to vinyl gives the following values:
a 12" album is worth $3-$8 or 2-5 GBP and a 7" single is worth $3-$10 or 2-6 GBP .
