A family of small, fully aquatic snakes, commonly called wart snakes or file snakes, found in Southeast Asia.
From Greek akron 'peak' + chorde 'cord, string' + -idae family suffix. Likely refers to the peaked or keeled appearance of their scales.
Wart snakes have incredibly loose, baggy skin that hangs off their bodies like they're wearing oversized clothes—it actually helps them stay moist in water and escape predators!
