Meet 9 beautiful and exotic species of snakes and snakes

It's a love-hate relationship: snakes can make those who dislike them shiver or inspire those who appreciate the reptile's mysterious air. The point is that, among the approximately 3, 000 species of the animal, some draw a lot of attention because of its beauty.

Nine of them all stand out well, either because of their different shapes, the combination of extremely exotic colors or the combination of the two, which gives them a unique look.

Sri Lanka Green Snake

Trimeresurus snakes are typical of Asia, but few are as peculiar in color as the sri-lanka's green snake. Several of them can be found in trees in the region that baptized it. Small, they are not extremely poisonous, but their bite hurts badly and can cause skin necrosis.

Asian Vine Snake

They are very small and, besides the striking geometry of their heads, have a black and white pattern on the skin, which, mixed with the natural green of the reptile, is even more evident when they expand their body when they feel threatened.

Because they live in the midst of the vine's folly (and because they look so much like the branches), when they are in danger, they tend to stay still, and if there is a wind they swing in the same pattern as other plants to camouflage themselves.

Green tree python (in the young phase)

Despite the name, when young, the green tree pythons tend to have an extremely striking yellow hue. Of course they turn green when they reach maturity, but it is at this stage of maturity that they stand out. Some snakes do not change color when they reach adulthood and keep yellow bright for life.

San Francisco Garter Snake

Garter snakes - also known as garter in the United States - are quite popular, but the native species of the San Francisco region of California is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful in the world - and rare too, as it is threat of extinction.

It's a pretty subjective statement, of course, but there's no denying that the bluish color, with the combination that reminds us so much of our coral snake, is something especially beautiful to see.

Eyelash Snake

No, they are not real lashes: the name came from the bulging "scales" above the eyes. They are quite poisonous and equally beautiful, with a light yellow coloration, also known as "oropel", an adaptation of a Spanish term meaning "golden skin". However, don't worry: they only attack when they feel threatened.

Sea-striped Krait Snake

A poisonous snake that lives in the oceans - in fact, with a poison more powerful than rattlesnakes. That sounds like bad news, but it's more common than it sounds, at least at the junction between the Pacific and Indian oceans. The animal has several adaptations to live on the seabed, but needs to come to earth to reproduce.

With a color combination of blue, white and black, although poisonous, they are often docile and there are very few reported cases of human incidents.

Rainbow boa

A genuinely Brazilian representative on the list, the good rainbow is known for its colored reflections on its brown hues. Microscopic cracks act as prisms that refract light and form the effect that the animal bears in the name.

There are nine subspecies of snakes that have this "effect" on the skin, the best known are found here in Brazil.

Taiwan Excavator Snake

With skin effects very similar to those of our rainbow boa, Achalinus formosanus snakes are found in Asia, more specifically in Taiwan and some islands in Japan. They are relatively harmless to humans and live hunting worms, frogs. and other small prey.

Scaleless Corn Snake

Corn snakes are often used as pets, but the interesting part is that some of them have undergone genetic mutations that have caused them to have no scales on their upper bodies. This makes their texture quite peculiar and makes them stand out among the other reptile types.
