Field Notes

Description:

This camouflaged and slightly creepy little dude is the tentacled snake. Found at the Tulsa Zoo these rear fanged aquatic snakes are the only snakes in the genus Erpeton. Gotta be lonely. Also unique among snakes are those two little tendrils coming off its mouth.

Habitat:

A native of South-East Asia, the tentacled snake can be found in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
