Re: Tropical speckled racers..
It's amazing what kind of colors can be found naturally on animals in the wild!
Thanks for sharing, Gus.

Re: Tropical speckled racers..
I wonder what benefit that sort of coloration has on this species' survival in the wild? I mean, if he lived in my grandma's make-up case his chances of survival would be great.
You'd think every predator would see that little guy. 
What a cool snake. Thanks for the pics!

Then again, not every animal may be able to see that color as we do.
