ABOUT THE FALSA CORALILLO REAL OCCIDENTAL

The non-venomous Falsa Coralillo Real Occidental (Lampropeltis polyzona) has a canny resemblance to its poisonous doppelgänger, the Coral snake. Although not venomous, a late-night sighting of this nocturnal reptile at the Río Blanco distillery will still send a shiver up your spine. The Falsa Coralillo Real Occidental can be found in a variety of forests along both Mexican coasts .
