Erythrolamprus epinephalus (Cope, 1862)
Erythrolamprus epinephalus, the Fire-bellied snake, is a colubrid found in Central and South America that preys on toxic golden poison dart frogs.
Erythrolamprus epinephalus, commonly called the Fire-bellied snake, is a snake species that belongs to the Colubridae family. It was first described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1862. This species is distributed across Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. A key notable trait of the Fire-bellied snake is that it appears to have immunity to the toxic skin of the golden poison dart frog, which it preys on.
