Beautiful and cute Oriental Whip Snake (Ahaetulla prasina) I found one rainy afternoon. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

White-spotted Cat Snake (Boiga drapiezii), again. Seems to be the most common Boiga? Malaysia.

Big, beautiful eyes....just like those of cats, thus the name - Cat Snake.

Thank you, gooner.

Thanks, Brian. Snakes are really not that scary once you get to know them. I was terrified of snakes too. But along the way, I've managed to overcome a good part of my fear for snakes. I held the whip snake in my hand to calm it down for photography.

Thanks, tirediron.

These are beautiful!

Thanks, waday.

Stunning shots. The color of the first snake is so vibrant and beautiful and the eye of the cat snake is gorgeous.

It's nice to see something in the Macro section that isn't a bug or spider. I really like snakes, though, so I'm glad to finally open a Macro thread and not be icked out
