Ahaetulla fasciolata
—
Speckle-headed Whip Snake
Also known as:
Banded Vine Snake
Kurt spotted this snake while returning our previously-found snake to its original location. At first we assumed it was the common species Ahaetulla prasina, which we had both seen many times before, but a good look at the face convinced us that it was instead Ahaetulla fasciolata, which neither of us had seen before.
