Historical Background

In Medieval European bestiaries, the Scitalis (or Scytale) was a serpent with such a ‘marvelous’ appearance (glittering scales) that it stuns the viewer, allowing them to be consumed by it. It supposedly sheds its skin even in the winter, a time when most reptiles (and ectotherms) are hibernating.
