Fortunately … up here in the north-west part of the Yucatan peninsula, aka Yucatan State, we have very few venomous snakes that are dangerous to humans … just three (3) kinds.
.

“Amphibians and Reptiles of Northern Guatemala, the Yucatán, and Belize,” (Jonathan A. Campbell) lists our Yucatan State’s dangerously venomous snakes as:
.
~ The Variable Coral Snake,   Micrurus diastema … ~ Throughout the peninsula …

” ~ Red to Yellow, Kills a Fellow ~ “

.

.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
= = = = = = =
~ The Yucatecan Neotropical Rattlesnake,    Crotalus tzabcan … ~   Throughout but infrequent

Sidelights if you venture **outside** Yucatan State into the Peninsula   …

** Here in Yucatan State … we are TOO FAR WEST for **

~ The Fer-du-Lance,  ~ Barba Amarilla … ~ Eastern Yucatan Peninsula …

Yes,  we do have a few (3) indigenous poisonous snakes here in Yucatan State …  but they’re pretty distinctive looking …  which makes ALL the other snakes you see here … ~ HELPFUL ~ and Useful !

Happy Trails, Steve
