Back in july, 2014 I was working my way along an overgrown and difficult stretch of a stream near Nam Nao, Petchabun. Suddenly, I saw a slender yellow branch begin to move. I knew what it was instantly. I had seen photos before, but never one in real life. It was an Oriental Vine Snake. Amazing little creatures. Doing a little reseach on the Internet, it seems to be a Short-Nosed Vine Snake Ahaetulla prasina. I could be wrong, though. Unfortunately, as it was so long and slim and I was only set up with my 100mm macro lens, I couldn't get in the whole body. Still it's my first ever encounter and I hope to see many more, especially some of the green ones.
