Roadkill. Very strange specimen with dark coloration. Dorsal scales on the posterior part of the body are keeled. This Characteristic excluded other Atractus species occuring in Guiana shield. Post occular are asymetric ( wich is often used to distinguish A. torquatus and A. flammigerus) --> One on the left side (Like A. torquatus) and two on the right side. this confirms that this criterion is not 100% reliable.
A. flammigerus is very variable species.
