Fabulous! Great notes

Awesome Spotting!

Neat!

Chun: THAT was damn impressive man!

@Ben: Interesting indeed. I guess some these species are very evolved versions of "once aquatic" creatures

@alice" :)

@ctsetan: I shall check for sure.

@mick: Thanks!

I guess you are correct. But my estimate is that from the end of its claw to the end of its sting, this scorpion would be around 10-11 inches long. I was really huge

This is really really beautiful!!!

@ Fraizer: Thank you!
Even though the minute I spotted it I knew it was a viper, I was uncertain as to which kind.
I was very cautious in handling the snake.
I came back to my room, googled and was amazed that it was a Russells viper. It is a deadly and adamant snake.

Thanks for your advice!!

I am not certain as to how dangerous these are, although I know for a fact that they are venomous. But they lack pace unlike their smaller species. Very slow moving and huge scorpion. I have come across just 3 in the last 2 years
