Xenochrophis maculatus
—
Large-eyed Water Snake
Also known as:
Spotted Keelback, Malayan Spotted Keelback Water Snake
This diurnal snake is considered to be terrestrial and semi-aquatic, though this one that we found sleeping at night was in a tree, so I guess they should also be considered arboreal. If you're terrestrial, aquatic, and arboreal, does that make you triphibious?
