An impressive feature is their bright red colored eyes with vertical slits. They do not have a true eyelid, but rather a nictitating membrane that allows light to enter the eye so that they will awaken when predators are approaching.

    That’s beautiful. So are there see-through parts of the nictitating membrane between the golden veins?
