Nice image.Very little is known about this non-venomous beautiful snake.This is a fascinating subject but as a word of caution, you must be able to identify the four broad categories of venomous snakes of our country and know their habits before you approach them closer.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Ya. Very true about Identification. It was very difficult for us at that point identifying it.

I agree that identification is very important. With a majority of the natural history programming shown in Animal Planet, NGC and Discovery showing the host catching the snakes and other reptiles, many people believe that they too need to do that. So one should really be careful.
