Red chestnut - Red chestnut

A snake of the order Squamata, family Colubridae, class Reptilia. A non-venomous snake with a vivid reddish-red color. It is collected at altitudes of 2000 meters in Honshu and at low altitudes in Hokkaido, but the number of individuals is small. It is distinguished from the E. conspicillata by the lack of keels on its body scales and the lack of black markings on its abdominal plate.
