TROPICAL RATSNAKE
(photo by Pete Mooney)

The above photo was taken during the FONT November 2008 Mexican tour 
in a cave at a remote place in the central Yucatan Peninsula, 
called "La Cueva de las Serpientes Colgantes", "the Cave of the Hanging Snakes". 
About 100 of these snakes are said to be in that cave, 
where also about a half-dozen species of bats occur. The snakes prey on the bats. 
It is said that these snakes never leave the cave. They were discovered there in 1994.
The species ranges from Tamaulipas, Mexico south to northern Honduras, 
but it's said that at no place other than at this cave in the Yucatan, 
is it known to be restricted for its entire life to be inside a cave. 

Also in that underground cave, in a pool of clear water, we saw, with our flashlights, 
some creatures endemic to the Yucatan that could never see us. 
In that dark world, there were these, all-white: 
a fish, an eel, and a shrimp, that do not have eyes!
