I realised that I had forgotten the snakes:

Before we even started, we found Ahaetulla prasina. We showed a threat display most of the time, but gentle lifting from under the snake did not concern it at all. (Note the parasites under the skin)


Rhabdophis spp. should be considered dangerous. Rhabdophis subminiatus has caused fatalities by causing renal (kidney) failure. Of course, I did not know this until after catching my first one. This is Rhabdophis chrysargos found at over 1300m in elevation. It was a very docile specimen.


Rhabdophis spp. show a great amount of variation between juveniles and adults. This is a juvenile Rhabdophis chrysargos found in the same area.


Blind Snakes are not the most exciting species to come across, even though you never see them very often (unless you tear open rotting logs). This is Ramtyphlos albiceps


Another fossorial snake that was found is not seen very often, Calamaria lumbricoidea.


Last, a snake that I almost did not take a picture of because there was no regional variation between this region and Northern Thailand, is Amphiesma inas


Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Cheers,
Michael
