Red Necked Keelback (Rhabdophis subminiature) flaring up it's neck to expose it's bright red color. This is one of the few snakes that is actually venomous and poisonous. The view is venomous, and the poison is absorbed from it's diet of native toads and stored in it's neck. Their venom is very potent but they're rear fanged so they have to really chew on you for a while to envenomate you.
