Nice resting pose. Nice to see the vertical pupil in opened up position.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

P.S.: For snakes other than viper species,the hatching position is similar.

Quite different from the previous huld you had posted. There seems to be some noise in this image. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see another Andaman Pit viper. May be we should also post some details on how to id these snakes.

I guess this was scanned from a negative in a lower resolution and hence the pixellation in the background.

Cheers,
