Most Beautiful snakes of the world







Snakes are too scary, at least for me. Actually, every snake is spine chilling for me whether it is venomous or not. There are many different kinds of snakes found in the world. They include from highly venomous to highly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to the eye (excluding me!).



The Emerald Tree Boa

Most species of The Emerald Tree Boa snakes are colored like the Corallus caninus, a non-poisonous snake found in the rain forests of South America. Adults develop to about 6 feet or 1.8 m in length.. They have highly evolved front teeth that are likely pro rata larger than those of any other non-poisonous snake are.





Amelanistic Burmese Python





Amelanistic Burmese Python

This head spinner is an Amelanistic Burmese python - a species that retains their yellow, carotenoid-derived paints. Mammals only produce pigments with melanin but birds and reptiles can also develop them by other means including carotenoids as we see here. Effectively though, she can be regarded an albino snake in that amelanistic is sorted under albinism









Eastern Coral Snake

Micrurus fulvius is one of the loveliest of all snakes. Regrettably, it is also very venomous, as all coral snakes are. On the good side, there are merely about 15 to 20 registered bites a year but on the bad side they are deathly and shortly there will be no more antivenene for it. Pfizer, has said that with such low requirement, it is not deserving the cost and research fatigued on it, and current stock is due to breathe out at the end of this year. The snakes are forest animals, living in leaf litter and sweep. They take flight before biting, but if you are bitten, it is imperative you go to a doctor. Respiratory breakdown occurs within hours.

                            




Coast Garter Snake

This species of snake is called Coast Garter Snake or Thamnophis elegans terrestris, have toxins in their saliva and the bite can develop mild response in humans. They are not considered life-threatening to humans, although they eliminate a foul redolent musk when handled.

Green Vine Snake

Green Vine Snake with pretty geometrical color pattern is also called the Long-nosed Whipped Snake. Ahaetulla nasuta is a lithe green tree snake found in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Vietnam. The green vine snake is periodical and mildly venomous. They are slow going, relying on masking as a vine in foliage. The snake enlarges its body when agitated to show a black and white shell marking. In addition, they may open their mouth in threat display and direct their head in the direction of the sensed threat.

This beauty is a somewhat rare photograph of a Blue Racer snake. I say rare because its not often you get such a brilliant blue reflecting from the scales, as often they seem more gray in color. Its conventional name is Coluber constrictor but despite this, they normally pin their target to the ground and eat up them alive. They are known mostly east of the Rockies but have been seen as far south as Mexico.









Leucistic Texas Rat Snake

This Leucistic Texas Rat Snake is a endearing lady in white. She gets her glossing and the "leucistic" element of her name from a condition that results in a lack of all coloration, rather than just melanin, which appears, in birth defect. This is why her eyes are of convention color. Texas Rat Snakes are (obviously) retrieved in Texas as well as in Arizona and Louisiana. They are non poisonous so a bite will give you little more than a painful leg.
