The flat-headed snake is a small snake with a flat head that lives in the central part of North America. It hides under rocks and feeds on small animals.
The flat-headed snake is distinguished by its very flat head, which helps it live under rocks. It is beneficial to nature because it eats centipedes and insects.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
