  • The Spine-tailed seasnake, (Aipysurus eydouxii), is a species of sea snake. This snake is unusual amongst sea snakes in that it feeds exclusively on fish eggs. Due to this ecological change, this species has lost its fangs and the venom glands are almost entirely atrophied. The scientific name commemorates the French naturalist Joseph Fortuné Théodore Eydoux.
