This Bridge Belongs to Snakes...

The rat snake had left. But that was not all. On the other side of the mini-bridge were, like I said, another two pair of big eyes.

Bingo! A Malayan or Big-Eye Green Whip Snake again. We had just spotted one in our previous trip! This snake was considered an uncommon species, and now we were seeing it for the third time.

The snake, obviously aware of us, tried to escape into the further bushes but my friend decided not to and held the tip of its tail so that we could take a few more shots. This is pretty dangerous as the snake could strike. And it almost did! The moment it felt its tail caught, it flattened its neck, revealing black and white colours. I tried my best to shoot some of those poses.

This was probably one of the best poses of the snake, but unfortunately, I lost focus on the head. However, the flattened neck can be seen clearly.

I suggested that it was about time to let it go. It would have striked any moment, and the bite can be pretty bad although the venom does not harm us humans much. But, its always better to be safe than sorry. Here's a shot as the snake body elegantly moves along the leaves.

And the snake slowly moves up into the taller bushes. Left the reserve then as it was almost 7. But this hunt was a success as it was the first time we spotted three snakes in a day.
