Thank you Brendan. You are absolutely right.

Not for photographic purposes, but for this discussion, I have posted a coral snake I saw in Argentina, that had already been killed, what usually happens over there, when country people in remote areas meet any snake. xx

I will post another photo of a coral snake I saw in Argentina and that was not a venomous one. Thanks again, I have learned a lot. :-))

Hi BrendanSmith and Gilma Jeannette Ospino Ferreira-Norman, many thanks for the really useful comments. So this probably is a RANA Coral snake which is very venomous. There is another one which is the false coral snake, I wonder how that one looks like? How do they differ?
Many thanks anyway. :-))

I agree, and I do love this sort of of detective work.

Ashish, I am sorry, I am reseraching right now, I was relying on what I was told. The owner of the house where we stayed said that it was a toad, but probably you are right, it is a frog and still feeds on geckos?

@Ashish: I am afraid, its not a frog, but a toad that was actually feeding on frogs and geckos. He came out a night.
