The Bolivian flag snake, technically called the Eutrachelophis, had never been observed by researchers. The team found this one in the thick undergrowth of forest that sits at the crest of the area the researchers explored. The snake was slithering along the ground among some dense fern plants.

This species gets its name from its red, yellow and green colors similar to the Bolivian flag. Very patriotic. Salute the snake.
