Today I saw a gif of a gaboon viper "crawling" (moving its muscles like a walking caterpillar rather than slithering), I was wondering if you could explain why/how they do that? Is that the only way they move around or just something they do occasionally? (Your blog is super cool btw!!)
Like this?

This is called rectilinear locomotion, and it's one of the main ways a snake can move! Gaboon vipers use rectilinear locomotion frequently because it's slow but a great way for heavy-bodied snakes to move. It doesn't involve any bending so it's also great for snakes who have recently eaten.
Rectilinear locomotion works by using the special muscles snakes have attached to their ribs. One muscle pulls a section of the body forward, and another pushes it back so they're propelled forward. This repeats in sections throughout their bodies, so you get that "crawling" effect.
All snakes are capable of rectilinear locomotion, and Gaboon vipers can move like any other snake, but rectilinear locomotion is their favorite way to get around! It's like how sidewinders prefer sidewinding even though they can use other styles of locomotion.

Diamondback rattlesnake skeleton by Vaukalaka
Crotalus atrox skeleton. This is not a ligament articulation, and every vertebrae and ribs had to be glued together. I worked on and off this specimen for almost a year. It was quite a lot of work, and despite some small anatomical mistakes, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

If harmony, why discordant, why does the skin stretch over bone like plastic bag over cereal box, having a body at all is body horror, perhaps

can snakes dilate their pupils? :0
Yes! It can be hard to see with some snakes but their pupils do dilate depending on light conditions.
Here's my buddy Hobie as an example. Short-tailed pythons have slit pupils:

But often, because of light conditions in the room he's in, his pupils look like this:
