What a suprise........Philothamnus Semivariegatus

This Spotted Bush Snake was caught by a friend in his yard in Magaliesburg. I was asked to ID and took some photos before it was released in the same area.

Outstanding images MrG. A pity you didn't get the "neon" blue tongue in the last shot, one of their features I like most, but still an amazing shot though.
