Kind of an ordinary-looking snakey, but that typical for kraits.

I really hate kraits.
I must have killed several hundred when I was in Vietnam.
If you shined a light on the asphalt outside our barracks at night, there would be a snake every couple of feet over every square inch of the asphalt.

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
