Exceptional luck presented me with two flying snakes, which almost ended up with me missing the Ferruginous Flycatcher (my original target). Both were spotted sunning themselves one on a sampling and the other on the boardwalk.
As I was pressed for time, the first snake got all my attention. I quietly walked past the second trying not to scare it away with the vibration of my foot falls on the boardwalk.
Twin-barred tree snakes are the smallest and rarest of the flying snakes in Southeast Asia. They share the same habitat with the other two flying/gliding snakes - the Paradise Tree Snake and the Golden Tree Snake.
This species is by far the most colorful tree snake species with its broad red bands across the body with a corresponding thin white bands that is bordered by two black bands.
