    Happy Merdeka (Independence) day to everyone in Malaysia!!! Today, I was celebrating the Independence day in the jungle with my friends.
    Morning time, we went to photograph some CP (Carnivorous Plants) near my home and in the afternoon, we went to explore a small limestone hill not far from my home too.

    The giant sized pitcher of N. rafflesiana (lower pitcher).




    Another lower pitcher of N. rafflesiana .






    My jaw dropped when I saw this white coloured pitcher of Nepenthes rafflesiana var. nivea.

    I was felling down into a hole and hurted my right leg when I was exploring in the summit area of the limestone hill. When I was applying the antiseptic cream on my wounds, I saw a clump of Phalaenopsis not far away from me !!!

    A single flower of Hoya weinmanniana :




    The seed pod of Hoya weinmanniana :







    DO NOT TOUCH the leaf of this plant (leaf is around 30cm wide)! I felt my hand was being burned by the fire when I accidentally touched it.







    This is the price that I have to pay for hanging around in dangerous place. The razor-sharp limestone has torn off my long pant and I got a minor cut on my right leg !!!

    The common green crested lizard, Bronchocela cristatella.







    I was so happy to meet my favourite snake again!!! It's Wagler's pit viper, Tropidolaemus wagleri.





    This time I found two juveniles (Tropidolaemus wagleri) at the summit area.....too bad I can't bring them back or else my old folks will "kill" me for bringing back the dangerous reptile.






    Pit viper : Come closer and I will "kiss" you !!!




    One more shot .......what a beautiful snake!!!





    THE END.
