Показать описание
Despite its threatening appearance, the Aesculapian snake is actually a rather harmless non-venomous species. It turns out that the proverb "It is more terrified of you than you are of it" is very accurate in this particular instance. The Aesculapian false coral snake, which belongs to a completely different genus and has a completely distinct appearance, should not be mistaken with this species.

Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, inspired the name of this species. The snake frequently lurked in Asclepius temples, and soon the god was the only one with whom it was linked. In fact, the Aesculapian snake wrapped around a rod is still used today as a frequent emblem in pharmacology and medicine.
