I really love this photo!!! They are such cool snakes. I would love to see one myself someday but I dont think many zoos have them.

Asiatic Lily?

Is that a peony?

very adorable

I just love turtles!! This is a great picture and you are a great person for helping those adorable little creatures

there is a website CoralSnake.net and its really cool. It looks like there are at least fifty different species of coral snakes found in South and Central America. Some are blank and red bands with no yellow. Some were black and pale white/yellow bands with only a little red. I am amazed at how many there were. I couldnt find this particular pattern but I didnt look through all the photos yet. Really cool picture

What country or state is this in?

I saw a post about species of coral snake in South America having on Red and Black

very cute turtle

I agree with Mitch it looks like a Black Rat Snake
