Instead, it contains a more unique calliotoxin that causes spastic paralysis in its prey almost immediately. Unlike most other coral snakes in its Elapidae family, its venom doesn’t contain neurotoxins. This species of snake is just as deadly as it is beautiful. The Blue Malayan Coral Snake is also called the Blue Coral Snake. Its scales sport a combination of black and iridescent electric blue, with a bright orange head, belly, and tail. The Blue Malayan Coral Snake’s scales are bold and beautiful. However, due to the interaction of these colors, we can find other colors and patterns of snake scales such as blue, purple, brown, etc. While a lot of snakes have dull and unremarkable scales, several species look almost unreal.Īccording to Bernard Bechtel’s book Color and Pattern in Snakes, the chromatophores in snake’s skins are limited to the production of basic colors like black, red, yellow, and the reflected hues of iridophores. Currently, we know that there are over 3,000 species of snakes, sporting different scale patterns and colors which make it easy for us to identify them. One of the most amazing things about these reptiles is how many species exist. Snakes are quite the unique animals, moving quickly without legs, climbing trees, even changing colors.

Snakes have chromatophores in their skin that produced limited colors that blend to produce hues of brighter, unique coloration.
