Thanks for this exciting Post, which I came across while browsing through, guess what... The dendrelaphis giri is a snake that we worked on for years and I am part of the team that helped with describing the new species, the photo is mine as well, super stuff! Great to see our contribution.....cheers!!!

Beautiful! I actually laughed at that goofy little fossorial thing. Reminds me of the wormsnakes we have where I live.

That green pit viper is bad!
