Trimeresurus macrolepis
One of the beautiful pit viper species found in the western ghats. There is only one morph of this species found so far and it sharply resembles the pit viper species(pope's pit viper) found in the north east India. One more interesting fact of this species of viper is they are oviparous i.e., they lay eggs.

Thank you Albert.
This was not handled. He was actually moving when we found him.
Am curious, was the Snake being handled or was it 'naturally' hanging down from a branch?
Great pic, anyhow.
