      Ok. Wiggle your tongue around in your mouth a bit until the saliva starts flowing. Now, find a sink and spit into it. Walla! You now have a liquid that has the color (clear, unless you’re eating colored candy!) and consistency of octopus milk. 🙂 And, just like our salivary glands produce spit, their salivary glands produce venom. 🙂
