Red-headed krait
Bungarus flaviceps
The red-headed krait , is a large venomous elapid snake with dramatic coloration. The red-headed krait can grow to a length of up to 7 feet . It lives in lowland rain forest, including those on islands, but it is considered uncommon. It feeds primarily on specific snakes, probably semiaquatic and fossorial snakes. In Southeast Asia, the red-headed krait occurs in Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra, with a subspecies in Borneo. The venom potency is little-studied, as bites from this species are extremely rare.
