Yep.  All that gorgeous coloration serves a very deadly purpose.

This is a very big, very thick/heavy one. My favorite snake in the whole exhibit. I need to get back to the zoo soon and get some new shots.

That's straight out of the camera. No tweaking what-so-ever.

Really beautiful !
The snake seems so calm, but also watchful . . .

These guys are really docile. From what I've heard, you really have to work at it to get them to bite you....but when they do.....geez. They've got fangs up to 2 inches long and some seriously nasty venom.

It must be amazing to have a pet like this
Wow, really serious !

Oh I don't own one of these. I don't have any experience with venomous or even aggressive snakes, so I'm not tangling with a Gaboon any time soon.

Though, one of these days.....I wouldn't mind having one.

That is a beautiful snake. You need to find a few though who are beautiful AND nonpoisonous!

*chuckles* Well, there is my lil corn snake. I think she's simply beautiful....and is nonvenomous.
