Wildlife Capture: Dendrelaphis Pictus Snake
When I was having a coffee break at school park, I accidentally sighted a little snake crawling on ground. Seriously, since I was enganging in nature stuff, taking picture of snake was my first experience. Beside, it was hard to find, it also had no way to take the pictures since it moved quite alot. However, that was my lucky day seeing it calm a bit so I could do some efforts to take the macro pictures. Known the Painted Bronzeback Dendrelaphis pictus is one of common snake that occurrs in a broad range of habitats. Its native habitat is mostly in a forest edge species, as it is rarely encountered in dense forest. It has adapted to a broad range of disturbed and man-made habitats including secondary scrub, parks and gardens. It is fully diurnal - by day it actively searches for its food prey, which comprises mainly lizards and frogs, but by night it rests on narrow tree branches a few metres above the ground. This snake is nervous in disposition, and will typically flee swiftly when disturbed. Painted Bronzeback Dendrelaphis pictus is a species of snake found in Southeast Asia and India.

Looks beautiful but dangerous.
I am amazed that you have so beautifully and deftly taken pictures of a snake from different angles using your smartphone's macro lens. The name of the snake is Painted Bronzeback Dendrellaphis pictus. With great care and skill you have taken a picture of a snake that is probably shy in nature. This happened when you went to the park in the middle of school break. You describe where the snake lives and what its food habits are. The snake usually eats frogs, lizards and other animals. Also lives in tree branches at night. I got to know about the snake, its nature, its food habits and the areas where it is found. I like it very much. Thank you so much for sharing such a live snake photo and information about its identity.
