Julia's ground snake (Erythrolamprus juliae ) is a species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is found in the Caribbean, on the Lesser Antilles islands of Dominica and Guadeloupe.
The specific name, juliae, is in honor of Julia Cope Collins (1866–1959), who was the only child of American herpetologist Edward Drinker Cope, the describer of this species.
E. juliae can reach half a meter (20 inches) in total length (including tail). Its coloration is typically white or yellowish flecks on a glossy dark ground color, but some individuals are uniformly dark.
E. juliae is harmless to humans, but may release a foul-smelling cloacal secretion if provoked.
Julia's ground snake eats lizards, frogs, and insects.
