Rainbow Tree Snake (Gonyosoma margaritatum)
Our first dive into the colorful world of Colubrids begins with arguably one of the most colorful, yet unheard of species of snake, the Rainbow Tree Snake (Gonyosoma margaritatum). 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.
