Colubrid Corner Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/colubrid-corner Welcome to Colubrid Corner, the podcast that explores the diverse array of snakes we know as Colubrids. Together, Owen McIntyre and Riley Jimison dive into these reptiles one species at a time to shine a light on the largest group of snakes according to human classification. With global distribution, this group consists of obscure, common, large, small, colorful, bland, harmless, and venomous species of snakes. Each episode unpacks a particular species to bring the listener deeper into the beautiful world of snakes one Colubrid at a time.

They are native to Mexico’s Sonoran Desert. Its range borders that of the California King Snake and the Desert King Snake. They are found in rocky and semi-arid brushland and grassland regions. They will burrow into loose soil and are also excellent swimmers.

The False water cobra is a rear-fanged venomous colubrid snake native to South America. The background color of a mature snake is olive green or brown, with dark spots and bands covering much of its body. The background coloring and banding generally become darker towards the end tail. This coloring gives the False water cobra effective camouflage in its natural rainforest environment. The ventral scales are yellow or brown, spotted with dark flecks that make three dotted lines that appear to merge towards the tail.

From the redhead contrasted upon a typically green body dotted with flower reminiscent patches of pattern, this long and unique species of Rat Snake is considered to be among the elite lesser-known Colubrids. Reaching lengths of up to 8 feet, this snake is listed by the IUCN Red List as “VULNERABLE” with some downward trends in population. However, they do exist in the hobby and captive propagation does occur. This diurnal, large, and active snakes deserve the envy they induce in those fortunate enough to discover them and hopefully, this episode inspires the listener in the same way.

This beautiful species of arboreal nocturnal snake is similar to Rhino Rat Snakes (Rhynchophis boulengeri) and many of the more common Gonyosoma in the hobby today. However, these jewels, despite being listed by the IUCN Red List as “LEAST CONCERN,” will not be found at your local reptile conventions as very little is known or documented about this species. Cloaked in an array of colors, this elusive species of Colubrid is sure to intrigue anyone to hear of its fitting name and see photographs of the few individuals to have been photographed.
