Inhabitants of the cloud forests of SW Mexico, only a few of these fantastic snakes have ever been found. Fortunately they have been successfully bred in captivity and can now be seen in several zoos.
Although not the prettiest of the arboreal Alligator Lizards, the equally rare Abronia ornelasi shares this snake’s restricted range and was an obvious choice to include in the composition.
