Lampropeltis triangulum hondurensis, is found in Honduras and Nicaragua. While at first glance not one
of the most beautiful snakes. They are constrictors, but look a lot like coral snakes which herpetologists
believe is an example of Batesian Mimicry - when a harmless animal takes on the appearance of a venomous one
to protect themselves.

Just take a look at its scales - they are bright (which is what the 'lampro' in the binomial name
stands for) and a brilliant red and black.
