Hi!
I just saw a snake in the canopee in front of my window! I didn't kow they could climb so high in fact.
It was a grey snake with kind of black and white long stripes it seems, the part just behind the head being yellow-brown. Does somebody knows what it is?
And BTW do you know where I could find photos of the species I could meet on lamma? I already met a cobra, a bamboo, a small one with blach and white rings, is this a terapin? a big one (about 3 meters) probably pythoon... I am a bit scared by these cold friends, specially because I don't know them and where and when to find them. I try to avoid small tracks in the forest during summertime... Do they have predators on the island? what about the birds? falcons? thank's for your lights!
Remi

That was definitely a copper head racer I saw, but I was surprised to hear that they have venom and are aggressive. I somehow thought they were harmless, so probably did not treat it with sufficient respect. I'm not an expert on distinguishing the venomous from the non-venomous, so tend to err on the side of caution.
