I've been quite remiss....

and totally forgot that in this post about reptile snake eels I promised you a Crocodile Snake Eel. Well here it is. Hidden in the sand it doesn't look pretty...

...but gives no inkling of the horror that lies beneath the sands.....

These must rank as one of my favourite critters anywhere in the world. I mean they're hideous but at the same time perfect for what they do (sit buried and grab stuff that swims above). I do have a third type to share in the future that is actually rather more attractive (assuming I don't forget again).
