I saw that too!! I was googling about it for a while this morning, fascinating stuff! I enjoy the ways that they recommend introducing the character and house into a campaign etc in the Book of Artifacts, too. I think it's cool they use real folklore to give the game flavor and interest.
So I checked and it depends on the species but one flying snake has a field of view of 308.5°. So for some species they'd be able to have hands way apart from each other

I always enjoyed this aspect of D&D games: the creative, interesting enemies, places, and artifacts that you could find in some of the books/tomes.
In fact, i was able to find the exact book i was thinking of at archive.org! The AD&D 2nd edition Book of Artifacts: https://archive.org/details/tsr02138add2ebookofartifacts/mode/1up
Here's one of my favorites from the book, though it's been so long i really could do to give in another gander:

That's a direct ripoff of Slavic folklore, FYI

Yeah, I didn't read the text on the page, only the title.

Lol shockingly similar to one of my characters who was a squirrel wizard.

Yeah. And even when someone challenges you to play another noble paladin, they never get less weird.
