Would someone be able to confirm the identification of this fine snake ('Tree snake 1 & 2' in my 'smuldal' member's gallery), seen at Popa Falls near Divundu, Namibia, on 20 November?
We were alerted to it by the alarm calls of a red-eyed bulbul, whose efforts at driving it off were daring, persistent, and completely ineffectual. My guesstimate of its total length is maybe 2.25 metres.
I took lots of photos. In hindsight I wonder if I should have been a little more wary of it(?)
