SNAKE - EEL

SNAKE - EEL

Although very common, snake-eels are seldom seen because they spend most of the time buried in the sand or mud.

The pointed snout is useful for burrowing. In addition, many species have a bony, sharp tail and are equally adept at burrowing backward and forward.

The species that have conspicuous bands or spotting are sometimes mistaken for sea snakes, but they are easily distinguished by their lack of scales and possession of a more or less pointed tail (paddle- like in sea snakes).

The diet of most snake-eels consists of small fishes, crabs and shrimps.
