Spilotes pullatus — Wagler 1830: 23.

This large snake reaches up to 2.5 m long. It differs from other snake species in the area by having a dorsal pattern of transversal yellow and black bands. Often, the posterior portion of the body is completely black ( Savage 2002). It also differs from similar species in the region by having 14–18 dorsal rows of scales at the midbody with the uppermost keeled ( Savage 2002).
