An Encounter with a Tree Snake

The day started pretty normal and I was working in my home office much of the morning answering emails and talking to clients. I went downstairs to have lunch only to discover that I had a visitor in the house. Some how a snake had slithered in on its own and it was trying to find its way out. I of course, picked up the camera and started photography it first and then I had to catch it to release it back into the nature reserve. May be it comes from watching too many hours of Animal Planet and NGC. I ended up catching the snake with a towel wrapped around my hand. I wanted a photo of the capture but Lilik ran off as she was too afraid of the little snake I held in my hand.
I think the snake in question is a flying tree snake as it was long and thin about 1 m long. The snake is pretty common in Singapore and is mildly venomous with rear fangs. They hunt small prey like lizards, frogs, birds and bats. Flying Snakes are active during the day and are mostly found in trees rather than on the ground. We need to interview the snake if we want to find out how it strayed so far from it natural habitat.
