The snakes that I have seen have the blisters when attacked by ants but that one seems smooth from the pic. Also the snakes I am referring to have survived so that may be the missing link. I do know from way to personal experience that you don't get the blisters for a little while so maybe the ants killed the snake before they had a chance to form.

It is strange how some snakes seem to coexist with the ants under boards while others get nailed by them. I know when I was hunting ground skinks that they where most often found under debris on or near ant mounds. With them it seemed like they where eating the ants but the ants seemed to ignore them. Probably because they are such bad a$$ little skinks. Love those things.
