Sorry for the long silence. Just realized that I haven't posted in 3 months!

Red-headed Krait (Bungarus flaviceps baluensis) from the Sabah, Borneo. Highly venomous, but extremely shy. Didn't even make any attempt to bite!

This subspecies can only be found i Sabah!

Oh sweet mother of Dog! I'm going there next month and have been trying to convince myself we won't run across any snakes. Not a fan of snakes.

Beautiful pictures, though!

Well done! I love the vipers, but i think the Cat Snake takes the lead, as far as photos go. All are beautiful though, and the colors on the Krait are incredible!.

Yes they are, and I do like snakes, just not the "highly venomous" types. Hence the glass.

While the venemous ones would make me quite nervous, they are strikingly beautiful.
Gorgeous set Kurt.

Thanks for looking and commenting, CatznDogz22, Fhal11, Brian M, Birdie, Mike,

CatznDogz22 - not easy to spot snakes. Count yourself lucky if you ever come across one!!!

Brian M - I used to be extremely terrified of snakes too but not anymore. Took me slightly more than 3 years to completely overcome the fear. Everyone can do it.

Birdie - the vipers are quite chill. Even the kraits are shy and all they ever want to do is to get away or hide the head underneath the body!

Spectacular--these are to my eye a great example of photographic / natural history art. Absolutely gorgeous displays of the snakes and some of their habitat.

Thanks for posting.
