Amphisbaena heterozonata
Amphisbaena heterozonata is a species of amphisbaenian in the reptilian order Squamata. Little is known about this species due to its burrowing lifestyle. It is an opportunistic feeder that uses behavioral tongue flicking to detect prey. The tongue has chemoreceptors which respond to stimuli from prey such as termites. When A. heterozonata detects chemical signals it increases the number and rate of tongue flicks that it exhibits. Studies on the embryonic development of Amphisbaena alba have revealed that the remnants of the pelvic girdle and pectoral girdle are represented by small cartilage rods.
