	Serpens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Serpens (the snake) is one of the 88 modern constellations, and was also one of the 48 listed by Ptolemy.
		Among the modern constellations it is unique in sometimes being split into two pieces, Serpens Caput (representing the head of the snake) to the west and Serpens Cauda (representing the tail) to the east.
		Serpens is the snake being grasped by Ophiuchus, the Snake-Handler, and is thus very closely associated with it.
