Fatgs

1

A studied snake had eaten a caecilian that was larger than the snake was long in relation to its own size, which was unusual because an earlier study had suggested it eats smaller prey.1

2

Its scientific name, aterrima, means "blackest", which fits its dark, glossy body.1

3

It is a burrowing snake, so it spends much of its time underground.1
