Oh hahaha! My page did not load properly. But thats a really cool spotting ;)
hi reeooe, no it's found in North Sumatra, Indonesia. It was inside one of the reforestation site of the rainforest (Gunung Leuser National Park).
Was it spotted inside sungei buloh?

Hi Argy Bee, it's about 16cm (6.3 in) long. We dare not go too near or touch it, until the local forest ranger held it and put it inside a pail.
Wow they look formidable. What size is it?
