Hi folks,
I decided to return to Sarawak for a week at the end of November - managed to get a few interesting creatures plus I escaped at least some of the UK winter.

Kurt told me they were about but as I'm on an ice cold streak when it comes to dendros I had no luck.

Even if people told me they were really abundants, i had hard times to find some...
I saw 3 alive on 4 trips in Malaysia. In 3 different places ( Jungle, Pedi field and Palmoil). It was my first snake I saw in Malaysia. But really abundant...? Maybe I search on the wrong places.

We found many specimens of this species in Taman Negara, both along the main river, and along a wonderful secondary smaller river which ended not far from our lodge. The snakes we found were almost exclusively the dendrophila (we spotted also a huge specimen, which unfortunately fell down in the water) and the baby retics.
