Cape Coral Snake - Aspidelaps lubricus

The cape coral snake (Aspidelaps lubricus) is a species of venomous elapid snake found in parts of southern Africa. This snake is found in regions of the Karoo, Cape Province, and all the way up into Namibia. It mostly inhabits very arid regions, like deserts and rocky/sandy ecosystems. These areas within South Africa within the Karoo are known for low predictable rainfall and little vegetation, mostly shrubs and scrubs.
