Teacup Snakes

Giving new meaning to the expression "heads I win, tails you loose" a snake small enough to curl up on a quarter (the cheapskate snake pictured here is curling up near a penny) has been discovered on the island of Barbados by an Evolutionary biologist who named it: "Leptotyplops carlae" after his wife, Carly (you can almost hear her saying, thanks a lot, honey!)

The 2006 movie "Snakes on a Plane" would have been slightly less scary with these little critters on board!
