Psammodynastes pulverulentus
slender, about 40cm (1.3') beige with dark and light markings, it stood tall like a cobra when I got close but it wasn't aggressive. ID'd as P. pulverulentus but could possibly be a different species.
tropical rainforest
A friend spotted this in the morning while walking to the park office. It was slithering across a concrete road but stopped after my friend spotted it. I wasn't far away and when I got there it was still on the road. It allowed me to get really close and wasn't bothered by me. After I nudged off the road for it's own safety.

Thanks Louisa and Muckpuk. I use a Canon Rebel T3i. For this shot I used the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 lens.
Great series of photos!
Fantastic shots. What camera do you use?
Thanks Neil. That's okay, can't ID them all!
Great spotting Dan! I wish I could help nail down the ID on this one, but I don't have or know of any good resources on Vietnamese herps.
Thanks, I've tentatively ID'd it as a mock viper with some notes detailing that there is some uncertainty.
Dan, yes that image looks like your snake...
Thanks Cindy! As for ID, I appreciate the input. I'm no expert but this image does look a lot like mine. What do you think Scott?

I'm not familiar with the species but this spotting sounds like it has a different disposition than the mock viper and while similar in appearance the mock viper looks different to me http://www.snakesoftaiwan.com/Psammodyna... But I could be wrong!
Another awesome series, Dan!
