Wow, that's pretty special, what a stunning sighting. I didn't even know about this snake species. This is what I love most about NatureMapr, just how much I learn about our natural flora and fauna and it makes me want to explore to see it myself and also work to protect what we've still got.

I'm happy based on the colour pattern and locality that it is most likely aspidorhyncha
