COLOR PALETTE SAMPLED FROM IMAGES OF THE SCARLET SNAKE.
SPECIES INFO:
The saying goes... "Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. Red touches black, venom lack."
The Scarlet Snake (Cemophora coccinea lineri) is a fairly small nocturnal nonvenomous snake that can be found in South Texas- it can be confused with the venomous red next to yellow kind... #coralsnake
According to information found on iNaturalist, "Like all scarlet snakes (genusCemophora), the Texas scarlet snake is a secretive burrower, spending most of its time under ground. It prefers sandy thicket habitats along the Gulf of Mexico coastline."
