Secret Key Error when writing US Counties GeoJSON into a Choropleth?

Hi. I’m trying to write a US Counties shape (population and color added) file into a Plotly choropleth.
The US counties shape file is from: http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2016/shp/cb_2016_us_county_5m.zip

The first record of the geopandas dataframe (created from the above) looks like the below. I added color, and population.

I’m getting strange errors when I try to plot it… I’m new to Plotly so any help is appreciated…
I’m using http://andrewfulton.io/programming/2016/10/01/county-choropleth-colorbar.html as an example.

The code I’m using is this…

layers_ls = []
for x in cdf.index:
    item_dict = dict(sourcetype = 'geojson',
                     source = cdf.iloc[x]['geometry'],
                     type = 'fill',
                     color = cdf.iloc[x]['Color'])
    layers_ls.append(item_dict)


colorscl = [[i * .01, v] for i,v in enumerate(colors)]

data = go.Data([
            go.Scattermapbox(
                    lat = [0],
                    lon = [0],
                    marker = go.Marker(
                                  cmax=100,
                                  cmin=0,
                                  colorscale = colorscl,
                                  showscale = True,
                                  autocolorscale=False,
                                  color=range(0,101),
                                  colorbar= go.ColorBar(
                                                 len = .89
                                                        )
                                       ),
                    mode = 'markers')
                     ])
layout = go.Layout(
    title = 'US Population Density',
    height=1050,
    width=800,
    autosize=True,
    hovermode='closest',
    mapbox=dict(
        layers= layers_ls,
        accesstoken=mapbox_access_token,
        bearing=0,
        center=dict(
            lat=39.03,
            lon=-105.7
        ),
        pitch=0,
        zoom=5.5,
        style='light'
    ),
)

fig = dict(data = data, layout=layout)
py.iplot(fig, filename='US_Pop_Density.jpg')

In the above code, the layer_ls dictionary looks like this

layers_ls[0]
{‘color’: ‘#fffad7’,
‘source’: <shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon at 0x7f6b8273d128>,
‘sourcetype’: ‘geojson’,
‘type’: ‘fill’}


This is the error I’m getting

Any help is appreciated. Wish writing counties into Plotly was as easy as States :\
