Reptiles » Mentioned in scripture » Cockatrice or basilisk
The nursing child will play near a cobra's hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den.
They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
