Keelback

Found this one on Saturday night Has been a great weekend for snakes
This is really similar to the rough scaled that I posted last week - and the way to tell is by the extra scale present in front of the eye in the keelback, and by turning the snake over and looking at the scales following the vent, in keelbacks they are divided, in rough scaled's the are a single scale. Unlike the rough scaled snake, these guys are not venomous are a really nice snake - does smell though !!!
and yes Andrew -the wb is WAY off
