Amazing animals...

Thanks.....Terry

[Mark Brown]

Wow! Azemiops! Now there's something you don't see on FHF very often - spectacular animal.

[Tom]

Incredible - I'd love to hear the stories behind the Azemiops and the rhino ratsnake...!

[Dr. Dark]

WOW! Some great pics of some amazing snakes! The Azemiops is a mind-blower as is the Rhynchophis...I too would love to hear the story on the Azemiops. Also, was the Ovophis shedding as you watched?

[Mark Brown]

What elevation did you find the Azemiops?

[Antonsrkn]

Incredible, it just kept getting better and those 3 vipers at the end were the cherry on top.

Agreed, a live Azemiops and the other vipers were fantastic. Thanks for showing us your finds.

Yap, it was shedding when I photoed it.

Fantastic! Need to get to Asia asap...

I can't stop looking at that oligodon. I had never heard of that species, and it is gorgeous.

Thank you,
Billy

Best post of the year. Alien stuff par excellence. The surprise just kept coming, and I wasn't able to ID a single one of them. Rhadinophis prasinum is a stunner!

Why "Dinodon (Lycodon)"? ID not clear?

PS: Only ONE photo of the jerdonii??

Thanks for your comment
Based on the latest article the two genus actually are one, but since it is still a controversy topic, so I just put both two names there.
Sadly I only took few shots for jerdonii, and that's the best one among them
