Can you Teleport a creature in a zone with Mangler Caltrops?

Can you Teleport a creature in a zone with Mangler Caltrops?

Is it possible to teleport an Asp into a zone with a Mangler Caltrops.
(Basically does teleporting into a zone count as entering the zone?)
The Caltrops would not attack creatures summoned into the zone right?

Yes, teleporting counts as moving, follows the normal steps for movement (except for the Walls step), and would trigger the Mangler Caltrops during the Enter Zone Effects step. RAW this is true even if you teleport the creature 0 zones (i.e. back into the zone it started at) triggering both the Leave Zone Effects and the Enter Zone Effects of that zone. These rules can be found on page 10 of the Core Rulebook.

There is a rule that being "put into play" does not count as entering the zone, which keeps creatures from suffering Enter Zone Effects when Summoned, but does not protect them when teleporting. This can be found in the Supplement on page 9.

This can be key to a zone of death type deck. Teleport into a zone with Mangler Caltrops and then reveal spiked pit, hydrothermal vent, etc, etc. Add Devouring Oozes for more fun. I have faced this book in various forms and its nasty.
