Wow that striped phase is amazing!
Great photo's. Do Bark snakes use their orange(y) tale as a lure?

Good question levi. I'm really not sure. Quite possible though! Thanks dude!

Not sure what is better, the photography or the snakes.
Thanks for sharing, great post.

STUNNING!!! :shock:

Iv'e always wondered, do harlequin snakes belong to the the family of elapids or burrowing snakes???

Aaxel, I recent read a comment by Wolfgang Wüster: 'They are pretty well established as Atractaspidids now - a sad loss to the Elapidae'
