Hi Folks,

My brother works in the Sabi Sands Nature Reserve in the Limpopo Province and they found the following snake... Funny enough no one on the reserve has any idea what it is.

What do you guys suggest it is?

That my friend is a garter snake.

Epic find. They are not very common!

Bit more specific, I think that is Elapsoidea boulengeri.

Hahahahah thanks Westley. Sorry I just had to shoot from the hip.
They are really not common.

Amazing find! Yup, Westly you seem to be spot on...

Sorry accidental 2nd post

Thank you very much! Always great to hear that uncommon stuff is still being seen!

I haven't been active on the forum for a very long time and I must say, my post really made me miss this place.

Thanks Mods for moving my thread to the correct forum!

Charlie, please encourage them to upload finds to the ADU's ReptileMap.
