I take back everything I said earlier about blue being an unusual colour in snakes!
For some reason it came up when we originally looked at our first pictures of garters. I lost it again for a while but it reappeared in the search a few days ago. Yes, it is a Malaysian (Malayan?) Coral Snake. It is amazingly beautiful!

Don't take back what you said, it still is an unusual colour in snakes.
