Sea snake ID

Postby Paul Lambourne » Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:01 am

Whilst having a bit of a clear out I came across an old album of pictures taken in Borneo some years ago, I caught a bad dose of malaria and was hospitalised out there for a bit, and subsequently cannot remember a lot of the species I saw. I found some pictures of a sea snake I found at Kota Kinabulu.. can anybody let me know the species.

My guide on East-Asian reptiles confirms what Jan is saying!
