1.    Asian Vine Snake: the main beauty of these species are the scales which has somewhat geometrical patterns.

When the snake is relaxed in a place, it is quite slender and green in color. This representation of scales on the body of the Asian Vine snake helps it to camouflage itself when feeling endangered.  

      

2.    Banded Sea krait; As the name suggests these are the snakes that are found on land as well as in the ocean. This snake has a beautiful blue and black layered scale which makes it look impressive.

This species is also known as colubrine sea krait as well as yellow lipped sea krait. Over the years through the evolution, this snake has adapted to the changes with its tail acting as a paddle and a pair of halved nostrils which allows it to keep the saltwater from not entering into the body. This breed does need freshwater for its existence and needs to come to land for the same. One should know that these species are known to be much more poisonous than the rattlesnakes.
