Get bitten by that one and you will have a smile on your face for 24 hours or so!

The thing is that the original snake is not harmless. I don’t believe any Krait is harmless. It was just less harmless than this new species.

Works well for birds, reptiles and amphibians. Maybe even marsupials.

“The new species was once believed to be another, much less deadly snake.”
Reptilian appropriation.

we can't name viruses on regions but we can name animals as long as they're Chinese? why not a Buddhist/Burmese-derived name?
otoh, linking a deadly chameleon snake with China seems an rather appropriate association
