This episode talks about Hydrodynastes gigas, The False Water Cobra. The False water cobra is a rear-fanged venomous colubrid snake native to South America. The background color of a mature snake is olive green or brown, with dark spots and bands covering much of its body. The background coloring and banding generally become darker towards the end tail. This coloring gives the False water cobra effective camouflage in its natural rainforest environment. The ventral scales are yellow or brown, spotted with dark flecks that make three dotted lines that appear to merge towards the tail.
