Copperhead Rat Snake (Coelognathus radiatus)

Back in 2012, I was returning from Nam Nao National Park and I saw this massive snake (at least 2 metres long) writhing around at the edge of the road. I thought it had captured a mouse or similar. As I approached, I realised it had been hit by a motorbike and was dying. Sad to see it die, as it was such an impressive beast. The species is known as the Copperhead Rat Snake or Coelognathus radiatus. A beautiful species, indeed.
