Striped keelback


The striped keelback is a slender-bodied, non-venomous snake found throughout India. Frequents rice fields, ponds, bushes and gardens. It is very gentle snake and easy to handle. Found this small guy (about 1 foot in length) inside a resort. Had to lie down on the grass and managed to keep the eye in focus.
Species: Striped keelback (Amphiesma stolatum)
Location: Jungle Lodges Resort, Kabini, Karnataka, India
Date: April 2010
Equip: Canon 50D, Canon 70-200 at 160
Specs: ISO 400, f8, 1/320s, hand-held

Congratulations Ajit

Thank you, all, for the very kind words of appreciation. This is a huge boost for me personally.

Must be pretty harmless as you were quite close. Not may favourite animal, but great image and nice BG to show off the snake.

Congrats Ajit!:cool:
