Erythrolamprus typhlus typhlus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Madre Selva field station, Depto Loreto, Peru. January 14, 2013.
This attractive rear-fanged snake comes in at least two distinct color phases. Neck-hooding behavior at no extra charge. These are rear-fanged snakes that do not hesitate to bite and chew; one bite that I’m aware of produced some pain and swelling in the hand that was bitten. Formerly in Liophis.
