Captelum Snake


Our first exhibit in the Imagitoons Zoo Reptile House is the captelum (cap-tell-um) snake. The captelum snake is not the only snake in the world with two heads, but is the only snake with arms. Its arms are not very useful to the snake, but it does allow the snake to sit upright (as seen here) and still eat. Here you can see that a lightning spider has got into the exhibit and has scared our captelum snake. This isn't uncommon since the captelum snake is afraid of almost everything - often times even its other head!

We should probably move along before we scare it too!
