The bright colours of the false coral snake (Erythrolamprus aesculpi) lend it protection from predators, even though it lacks the deadly
venom of the true coral snake. This is one of the 19 snake species
encountered on the expedition, which included a true coral snake, a
deadly fer-de-lance viper, and a species (Pseudoboa sp.) potentially new to science
