Here is a really pretty rubidus we found freshly hit just south of Puerto Vallarta



That snakes was just under 4 feet long and had a lot of red on the sides and edges of the ventral scales the complete length of the body. Certainly worthy of the epithet rubidus!

The next day, near a town called Autlan, we found this huge freshly shed skin in an area of semi-evergreen forest. This would have been a monster snake, but still appeared to retain the red markings on the side. Wish I had been there a few hours earlier .
