The most common coralsnake I’ve seen in Peru is the Aquatic Coralsnake. They’re big, twitchy, and relatively common in the slopes along tributaries of the Amazon River.

Costa Rican Coralsnake In The Grass
A good-sized Costa Rican Coralsnake we saw in the grass on a family vacation. These are very different than the coralsnakes we have back in Arizona. It’s much larger and willing to strike, which it did repeatedly. These snakes are a handful to get photos of, but we managed and let it disappear back into the forest.
