Toxicity: Highly venomous
Also known as 環紋赤蛇 (huan2wen2chi4she2)
MacClelland's Coral Snake is cathemeral (diurnal or nocturnal) and lives on montane forest floors, in stone cracks and among decayed plant matter. It is not aggressive, and very few reports of attacks by this snake have been recorded, but its venom contains strong neurotoxins which can be life-threatening. Little is known about its biology and ecology, but lizards and small snakes may be its staple foods.
Reproduction: Females produce 4-14 eggs in summer.

[ 羽鳥氏帶紋赤蛇 Hatori Coral Snake ]
羽鳥氏帶紋赤蛇, 全世界只有台灣才有的超稀有蛇類, 和環紋赤蛇一樣身懷神經劇毒, 但因為數量太過稀少, 又個性十分溫和, 幾乎沒發生過咬人的案例, 所以也沒有研製出對應的血清可用, 只是, 萬一真的被這種無血清的毒蛇咬到, 那就...😅
.
嬌小細長的身材, 身上的線條和色彩非常漂亮, 更特別的是, 在他緊張的時候, 會舉起尾巴構成一個9字形的狀態, 用來威嚇敵人, 這個狀態到底是在模仿甚麼生物我不太清楚, 但會讓我想到古埃及的法老王, 他們沒事都要拿著一支很像蛇勾的權杖, 當羽鳥的尾巴舉起來的時候, 倒是有點像這個法老王的蛇勾啊...😮

#沒血清的毒蛇就是威...😂
#真的很擔心他會不會打結...😂

I took a young Malaysian intern from a university in Pingtung to nearby Dahanshan. Hoping to find a hundred pacer snake, we were stunned to find a Sauter's coral snake (Sinomicrurus sauteri), a rare local endemic species. Here, he uses a plastic bag as a diffuser to take shots of it with his cell phone.
This was one of only four snakes that I found on an evening searching a quiet road through the mountains of Chiayi. The MacClelland's coral snake (Sinomicrurus macclellandi swinhoei) is an endemic subspecies in Taiwan and while hard to find, is probably not that rare. Unfortunately, it is small (but highly venomous) and lives a semi-fossorial life among leaf litter and stones where it's difficult to spot.

This was found during my 2nd herping trip in Taiwan.

MacClelland's Coral Snake (Sinomicrurus macclellandi swinhoei) is a rare endemic subspecies in Taiwan. It is extremely slender and grows to less than a metre in length, spending its time among stones and leaf litter, making it very hard to find. This was the first one I'd seen for a couple of years and was spotted by my friend as we led a small group along a mountain road last week (I was spotting all the bamboo vipers and he was spotting all the good stuff !). Although it's tiny it has very potent venom, and outside of Taiwan has been known to kill incautious handlers.

# Know your nature with Shawn Miller
Although the temperature was only 17 C and we didn't expect to see much up in the mountains of Pingtung, we found 6 bamboo vipers (which seem impervious to the cold) and this juvenile coral snake (Sinomicrurus sauteri). My wife also found a sun-dried DOR even tinier one a few minutes later.
