Hong Kong Herping 2012
Posted: May 11th, 2012, 10:16 pm
The herping season here in Hong Kong has kicked into high gear. This past week was very productive in terms of both quantity and variety. I went out 3 times times and found a total of 18 snakes:
2 Bamboo Vipers
5 Bi-coloured Stream Snakes
2 Many-Banded Kraits
4 White-spotted Slug Snakes
1 Common Blind Snake
1 Chinese Cobra
2 Mountain Water Snakes / Olive Keelbacks
1 Burmese Python
Bamboo Viper, White Lip Tree Viper Trimeresurus albolabris 白唇竹葉青 (青竹蛇 )
Many-Banded Krait Bungarus multicinctus multicinctus 銀環蛇
Bicolored Stream Snake Opisthotropis lateralis 側條後稜蛇
Chinese Cobra Naja atra 眼鏡蛇
Mountain Water Snake, Olive Keelback Sinonatrix percarinata percarinata 烏游蛇
Burmese Python Python molurus bivittatus 蟒蛇
I really need to carry around some extra lenses. A 100mm 1:1 Macro lens is not the tool for trying to get shots of a 10'+ python.
