Another successful trip to Singapore. First off, Painted Bronzeback. As found.
My fourth Blue Coral Snake. By far my favorite snake. I was only able to watch this one for a few minutes before he went under some leaf litter. Only a few quick shots. Took mostly video. It was too short of an encounter! As found.
Actually not the brightest blue I've seen. Maybe he was "in the blue".
My second Waglers Pit Viper. Another female. As found.
Underneath
I decided to use the GoPro with a pole to get a shot from above. Not the crispest shot, but I like the angle.
That lead to a "selfie". Holding the GoPole, using iphone WiFi to view image and click the shutter.
Found this super sweet looking Kopsteins Bronzeback. A LIFER for me.
Such a beautiful snake. Took a lot of video. Amazing to watch the snake puff up to show it's colors.
And lastly a bit of green.
While common, these guys never get old.
Putting another video together. Haven't had time to look at the footage yet. Hopefully it'll be better than the pics.

Sooo cool, once more!
Re: Lifer Kopsteins, 4th Blue Coral, and a selfie
Some enviable finds to be sure. You've found your groove on this site.
Re: Lifer Kopsteins, 4th Blue Coral, and a selfie
Thanks guys. Funny thing, before I was into snakes, I used to fly for an airline that went just about everywhere. Africa, South America, Australia, Europe. Now it's just Tokyo, with the occasional Singapore trip.

Amazing colours! Especially Waglers viper pops out! Also like the creative angle of the selfie shot
Liked your last video a lot! I'm curious for another video and the shots you made.
With all the best,
Tim

The first picture of the Wagler's looks like a caricature to me, with an exaggerated head. The second and third pictures confirmed that, no indeed it just has a large head! What an awesome looking animal.

Video finished. YouTube didn't like the music I chose for the opening and closing segments. It's a little strange without the music. Anyways, it's about 30 mins long. All the above snakes. Hope you like it.
