Xenochrophis piscator
Also called Asiatic Water Snake. This inoffensive beautiful snake allowed me to take a few close-ups before slipping back into his hide... :-) It feeds mainly on small fish and water frogs. Adults measure approx. 3.5ft(adult) but can grow upto 5.7ft.
This snake is found in or near fresh water lakes or rivers.

beautiful shot.
its inoffensive if you don't bother it. Try handling and you'll surly get 2 3 bite marks for free. very short tempered one. Even though it is non-venemous, you won't like to get bittenj. :)
i love it
Not venomous, Right?
Thanks a lot people... ;-)
