Hmmm,.....it's one of two things.....
a) a VERY good hoax played on the forum here with an EXTREMELY uncommon, very little known species of the world from another country.
b) or it actually IS indeed an EXTREMELY aberrantly patterned, VERY VERY thin Eastern Coral Snake(Micrurus f.fulvius)......
The head looks VERY much like the "REAL DEAL" Coral Snake to me as well, so use EXTREME CAUTION!,....I've seen some crazy aberrant Coral's in my day, but NEVER one as crazy and skinny as that one,...that specimen is just out of this world insane!..LOL!
I have many snake books, and one atlas in particular that weighs just shy of 10 pounds, with 591 pages, and there ain't nothin that comes close to that one!
If it is a Coral Snake(and I think it very well might be), that specimen, if it looked healthier would be worth HUGE BUCKS to the right individual, ....believe me!
