A greatStarry Snowflake Eel!
Origin: Eastern Asia

Size info:
Size M: approx. 7-12″

There once was a Snowflake Eel,
With patterns that had great appeal,
Its starry night skin,
Could make heads spin,
And its sharp teeth made prey squeal.

This eel can grow quite large in size,
Up to four feet, what a surprise!
It has a slender frame,
And a mouth that can maim,
But in captivity, it can be quite wise.

Echidna Nebulosa is its name,
And its tank should not be a game,
It needs hiding spots,
And sand for its plots,
And a good diet to maintain.

So if you want this eel as your pet,
Make sure you are ready and set,
For it’s not for the faint,
But if you can take the paint,
Then the Snowflake Eel will be your best bet.
