Just checking up on your snake spottings. Great shot from a new part of the world for me. Thanks for sharing Dan.
Thanks Ashley, looks like it to me. I trust your ID.
I think it's a slug eater, and it should be Asthenodipsas laevis. On one site of snakes in Malaysia it doesn't appear, but I'm not sure if that site shows a complete list. According to this site it is where you are at. And the scalation on the head is so unusual, this species fits it perfectly. I don't know what else it could be :)
