Ahaetulla nasuta
Above bright verdant-green. Belly of an equally intense but lighter shade of green, adorned on each side by a well defined narrow white stripe.
It is diurnal, usually reclines on the topmost boughs of bushes and escapes notice by its cryptic coloration.

Does this snake have teeth? It looks dangerous. It looks like a granny snake.
Its colours are beautiful. It looks funny.

yeah, you are right. many snakes show this character. indian rat snake, common bronzeback also show this..
amazing!!
good shot. i have seen pictures of trinket snake doing it, also checkered keelback. Lateral flattening of Neck. Amazing.
this coloration is only displayed when it feels threatened.. otherwise the coloration is green with out the black and whites..
Unbelievable !!
yes, its a short temper snake.. so it bites repeatedly but its non-venomous.... thats a relief...
that's really a dangerous one.. it blends!
Woah, that's awesome! Nice catch there!!
