Stunning set of captures of a beautiful set of snakes Kurt. I really like the keelback and white bellied rat snake. I love the fierceness of the pit viper... it appears to be a slender species of pit viper

Thanks for your lovely comments, MalVeauX, Denis, Bas, Travis, Linda, PG.

Travis - the viper was either a juvenile or a male. Male vipers are always smaller in size.

Thanks, Brian. The nocturnal ones are Boiga dendrophila, Boiga drapiezii, Trimeresurus fucatus and Asthenodipsas vertebralis. The rest are diurnal.
