Description This stunning beauty is a rare Red Mountain Racer, also known as a Bamboo Racer or Bamboo Rat Snake(Elaphe porphyracea laticincta), a rare species of contrictor from Malaysia and parts of China. Unfortunately her disposition did not match her looks, as she was more than willing to bite! She's non-venomous, though, so at the worst it would have done was a few scratches. Her mate was stolen off the vendor's table at the same show, and the guy just walked out with that snake, valued at nearly $2,000.oo! These are related to the Rat and Corn Snakes of North America.

Bamboo Rat Snakes are absolutely brilliant in coloration. They hardly even look real to me. It looks like someone painted them!

OHHHH He's cool! I like the striping on the head and how it runs differently then the striping on the rest of the body.
