Beauty is a great power, you can not even doubt it, but it can be different. The bewitching beauty of the sunset, the gentle beauty of the rose, the exciting beauty of the waterfalls, this list goes on and on. But you must admit that there is nothing more attractive than beauty, which borders on danger.
And today we will introduce you to a beauty that borders on danger so much that it can kill, and with which you need to be extremely careful. Better yet, see it only from the screens of monitors, and of course in the vast majority-beauty.ru. Today our article is about the most beautiful snakes in the world.
So, before you are the most beautiful snakes in the world:
1
King Cobra
The king cobra is not only the most beautiful and majestic snake in the world, it is also the most deadly representative of its species. She also surpasses her brothers in length. The average length of the king cobra is about 3-4 meters, but individuals come across more authentic.
The color of the queen of snakes ranges from dark brown to yellowish-green, but the visiting card is her amazingly beautiful hood.
Despite the fact that the snake eats only its own kind, that is, snakes, this beauty is fraught with mortal danger, it is better not to catch her eye. A snake can bite a person who accidentally gets in her way. And although cobras do not like to spend their poison, I often bite “idle”, but according to statistics only in India, more than 50 thousand people die from the bites of this beautiful snake annually.

Rainbow boa
This boa constrictor really deserves a place on our list, because its skin shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow. The snake's habitat is Central and South America.
Typically, rainbow boas grow to 150–170 cm, but boas up to 2 meters are found. This snake swims perfectly and prefers to live near ponds. Boa feeds on birds and small mammals.
3
Belcher
Belchera is a striped beauty, a representative of sea snakes. Peaceful, but very poisonous. Belcher lives in the seas and oceans near Indonesia.
The snake is not aggressive, often its victims are inattentive divers or scientists who are closely engaged in its study.

Rough wood viper
When you look at this lovely creation of unusual beauty, you get the impression that this is a mythical character from a fairy tale.
But not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. The meeting of a tree viper with a person promises the latter a mortal danger, so do not play with fire.
5
California garter
California garter already - a representative of the subspecies of garter snakes. It is not at all dangerous and is very popular among experienced collectors and for beginners.
The color of this species of snakes is very diverse and each Californian is already beautiful in its own way, and to choose which of them is more beautiful, of course, only to you.
6
Horned viper
This horned beauty lives in the deserts of North Africa, and at first glance, does not seem aggressive. But in fact it is very dangerous, but not insidious like some snakes.
She never waits and attacks the person first only for the purpose of her self-defense. Her scales are very similar to sharp thorns, but they are needed for the necessary conspiracy, with which she copes perfectly.
In the afternoon, the horned viper buries itself in the warm sand and sleeps. By the way, her coloring is suitable for this. Therefore, when setting off for the African desert, look very carefully under your feet.

Jameson Mamba or Green Mamba
The bright and rich color of this African killer beauty is bewitching and surprising, because we are used to the fact that all her relatives have darker and pastel colors, and Mamba Jameson is gifted with an unusual color.
Its colorful green color can be compared to the color of a juicy green apple.
Despite all the beauty, unusualness and elegance of this snake, it is considered one of the most poisonous snakes on the planet and you need to be very careful with it. Yes, beauty is a terrible force.

White texas snake
This white, at first glance, harmless snake is not at all like that. Although it is not poisonous, its bites are rather painful.
It is also called the rat snake, not only in its diet, but also in similarity. The head of the snake is flattened and resembles a mouse face.
Another Texas snake is one of the few species of snakes with a white color, which makes it a favorite of terrariums.
9
Blue racer
The snake with a very unusual name that people gave it - the blue racer (Blue Racer Snake) is actually under threat of extinction. Blue - because her color is soft blue, and that’s why the rider is so because of the speed of her movement.
The snake does not like people and is aggressive towards them, so it tries not to meet with them and does it right, and we can admire it in our photos.
10
Striated royal snake
This representative of reptiles is not poisonous, but it is very easy to confuse with a poisonous snake with a similar bright color - coral asp.
The royal snake feeds on lizards, which it hunts mainly at night.
It lives in North America. Today, scientists know 25 species of varieties of royal snakes.
11
Green python
Perhaps this will surprise you a little now, but the green python does not immediately turn green. Newborn pitchers have an orange and even slightly reddish tint. And only when the python turns a year old, the scales change their color to bright green.
Representatives of this species reach a length of up to 2 meters. The diet of their diet consists of lizards, small birds and rodents.
12
Dominican Mountain Red Boa
Very unusual, as for me, a white-red boa constrictor. He is very lazy and slow, so he sleeps during the day and goes hunting at night.
13
Honduran Milk Snake
This bright representative of the snake family has a very bright and compatible color in red and black colors. The combination of these two colors gives the resident of Honduras and Nicaragua a certain elegance and at the same time aggressiveness.
Although the snake is not poisonous, it is often confused with a very similar poisonous aspid.
14
Rainbow snake
A very beautiful and rare snake of our planet called the rainbow (Shieldtail) is really very similar to a rainbow, as it shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow, and its color, like mother of pearl, glistens in the sun.
Its distinguishing feature is its bright and neon color. See for yourself. Isn't that pretty?
Looking at her, fear of the reptile is replaced by surprise and admiration.
You can meet a snake in India and Pakistan, but this is if you are very lucky. But very little is known about her, so let's better admire her in our photos.
