Lipids on the surface of snake skin contribute to homeostasis by retarding transepidermal water loss.1'2* Snake skin lipids are also behavioral releasers, eliciting courtship in male snakes,3) and both anti-predator defense4'5} and predatory attack6) in interactions between snake-eating snakes and their ophidian prey. The specific structures of epidermal lipids are known for a few snake species. Best known, thanks to a detailed analysis by Ahern and Downing,7* is the Florida indigo snake (Drymarchon corais). Shed skin extracts of this species contained cholesterol, free fatty acids, and high
