Paradise Tree Snake

[cannon_14595]

I was at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve when I captured this little fellow.
A Paradise Tree Snake, a common snake of S'pore that can be found even in urban gardens.

Shots:





As it moved, I captured a shot as it swallowed a house gecko into its throat.
In the next two pictures notice its bulging throat.





Close-up shot of the head.


The red-flower pattern can easily be seen through this shot.



Two best shots with full body visible:





Thats all.

Darn!! That's one good series of snake hunting.

Thanks, Trident and Leunny.

This snake is said to be very common in SBWR,
especially near the vegetation beside the first bridge.
(The one just before the Visitor Centre)

Thats where I found mine too.
Haven't seen any other snakes at SBWR.
Hoping to find an Oriental Whip next.
