Mangrove Snake
Mangrove shadows, golden rings
Mangrove shadows, golden rings
Big-eyed night hunters in the trees
Rock runners of the tide line
The ray-riding runner of warm seas
Tube snouts. Bony armor. Dad does the brooding.
Night eyes, frog hunters
Built for speed at the surface
Lanceheads: silent heat-seeking ambushers
Green, swift, and sky-high by day
Linesiders of the tides
Silver schools, sand-sipping snouts
Scalpels on the tail, gardeners of reefs
Glide the canopy, don't fly it.
Guam's unwelcome night hunter
Cat-eyed climbers of the night
Look like a vine, strike like a snake
Blue spots, reef roots, ribbon tail
Quiet coils, powerful control
Cuba's cave-hunting giant boa
Bright bands, hidden life.
Forest canopy's red-tailed climber
Fast hunter. Serious venom.
One hood, one warning.
Fast hunters, potent venom, wide deserts
