Description:		ENGLISH: Names of snakes, elicited with the help of illustrations from the book "Amphibs and Reptiles of Brazil" (1981), by Eurico Santos. The names were investigated with two Trumai consultants. Several terms are actually descriptive expressions (for instance, "the snake that has a rough skin"). To investigate names of snakes is not a very easy task, given that the Trumai speakers not always see them (it is different from the case of fish, which are part of the daily life of the Xinguan groups). The list was recorded for documentation purposes, but this topic needs to be further explored. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Nomes de cobras, elicitados com a ajuda de ilustrações do livro "Anfíbios e Répteis do Brasil" (1981) de Eurico Santos. Os nomes foram pesquisados com dois falantes de Trumai. Alguns termos são na verdade expressões descritivas (por exemplo, "a cobra que tem couro áspero"). Investigar nome de cobras não é uma tarefa fácil, dado que os falantes de Trumai nem sempre as vêem (é diferente do caso de peixes, que são parte da vida diária de um grupo xinguano). A lista foi gravada para fins de documentação, mas este tópico precisa ser melhor explorado.
