\nHay otra culebra que se llama quetzalcóatl. Hay muchas dellas en la tierra caliente de Totonacapan. Es mediana: es del tamaño de las culebras del agua, o casi. Llámase quetzalcóatl porque cría plumas de la misma manera de la pluma rica que se llama quetzalli, y en el pescuezo tiene unas plumas que se llaman tzinitzcan, que son verdes claras y pequeñas; y en la cola y en los eslabones tiene pluma, como el ave que se llama xiuhtótotl, que es azul; y en el pecho tiene pluma colorada. Raramente parece esta culebra, ni se sabe lo que come. Cuando aparece es para picar al que la ve, y su ponzoña es mortal. A quien muerde, luego muere súpitamente. Esta culebra vuela
