Banded Mangrove Snake

This little cutie is a Banded Mangrove Snake, they are native to southeast Asia and they are mildly venomous. Unlike many of it's venomous cousins, this snake has rear fangs and not fangs towards the front of the mouth which means it really has to tag with intent to kill to inject venom. It's also, gratefully, brightly colored with those yellow bands so it's easy to spot. To be blunt, this one isn't nearly that much of a threat. :D This one, especially, since it's in a locked enclosure at the Bronx Zoo. © 2012-Current.
