Texas Padre Seashore

A mysterious creature that washed ashore a Texas beach has experts baffled: Is it a snake, an eel or something else entirely?
A Padre Island National Seashore visitor captured a photo of the long, slender and earthy-colored animal on the sand and sent it to park officials.

Don't sea snakes have a flat tail? Why couldn't one get washed up?

I have seen in person up close a Rattle Snake swim toward my boat when I was on Copano Bay. I hit at with boat oars and it took the hint and swam away. I will say it was the damn prettiest snake I have ever seen but that flat arrowhead it had looked like a mean sob.
