The radiant snake is a non-venomous snake from Southeast Asia. Its smooth scales brightly shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow when sunlight hits them.
The rainbow snake differs from other snakes by its bright iridescent sheen of scales, which is only noticeable under certain lighting. It helps maintain balance in nature by hunting small animals.
