I peered into the drain of plenty this morning and it gifted me with yet another of Mother Nature's beautiful creation. Next to some dry twigs and leaves I spotted a snake sunning itself.
I just can't describe the rush I feel each time I find something that few would notice. This snake was just stunning in the sunlight. The best part was it wasn't even afraid. I spent a good 15 minutes photographing it as it changed position without any prodding. I have the most fantastic series of photographs of this Blue-necked Keelback.
It gently turned down and peered out through the dry leaves.
It decided that it had enough attention for the day as it disappeared into its hole.
The Blue-necked Keelback belongs to the group call Asian Keelbacks and should be considered venomous. It is known to rear-up and flatten its neck like a Cobra when threatened.

Shirls,
I envy you for being able to be so close to the nature. I didn't know there's a beautiful orange color snake. Great shots as usual!
I got lucky this time around. There's another equally pretty tree snake that I saw the twin barred tree snake which I never did get a chance to photograph.
So this is the one that had died in the road accident?
I feel so sad for such a beautiful snake.
