Texas Diamond-Back

The Texas Diamond Back is also one of the better known species of snakes. Although it’s hard for us to imagine, the Texas rattlesnake is a common feature on restaurant menus in the American Southwest and Mexico, where it is native. But in order to get them onto your plate, they must first be caught, and we wish you the best of luck with that. They are among the most aggressive snakes in the world, but luckily they will clatter their tails as an advance warning. You should definitely pay attention to this rattling and not get too close to it, because that usually means that the snake is irritated.

Blue Coral Snake

Don’t be fooled by the beautiful colors of the blue viper, as an encounter with this unusual member of the Elapidae family can be deadly. Although a young blue viper can easily be mistaken for a calamaria schlegeli, the calamaria schlegeli is non-venomous, while the blue viper has an extremely fast-acting venom.
