Trouser Sock Snake

They are found in warm coastal waters from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. All have paddle-like tails and many have laterally compressed bodies that give them an eel-like appearance. However, unlike fish, they do not have gills and must come to the surface regularly to breathe. Nevertheless, they are among the most completely aquatic of all air-breathing vertebrates. Some have gentle dispositions and bite only when provoked, but others are much more aggressive.

 

Trouser Sock Snake is an 8x10in. original acrylic painting.
