Thanks Neil and Samuel! This one was new for me too :)
Excellent shot! Never seen that snake before, hopefully one day I will it's quite beautiful.
Great spotting here. Super Satyen! Never heard of this species before.
Thank you Lisa and Jemma! Lisa because of users like yourself and with some help from some local societies, I have started loving these creatures all the more and enjoy clicking them too. Few months back I would just run away at the name of a snake :-)
wow!
Amazing spotting. Love this beautiful snake.
