Platyceps thomasi is a small non-venomous snake from the colubrid family. It lives in rocky areas of deserts and mountains in the south of the Arabian Peninsula.
Platyceps thomasi differs from related species by its small body size and a special pattern of dark spots on a light background. This snake helps maintain balance in nature by hunting lizards and preventing them from overbreeding.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
