two snakes
July 7th, 2009
Snakes! We saw this banded krait last week during a survey, well Brenna and I did. This is the most dangerous snake in the region, one which has potent venom and is common in the area. Fortunately, they are not particularly aggressive.
This one is a baby keelback. They’re common snakes around the gardens because they enjoy eating frogs. While they have “medically-significant” venom, they are rear-fanged so it’s difficult to get into trouble with these ones. This baby I photographed yesterday was barely 6 inches long!
