Pits!!!
id: Bamboo pit viper
Pits help them track their prey and for them pits are their eyes.. These pits are heat sensitive and help snake seeing a thermal image/view. (Two holes just before eyes showing whitish color are Pits)
A very Beautiful Snake belonging to Viper family.
Let them be alone if you come across any, they will avoid you.. Until and unless you mess with them..
Truely mistaken as Dangerous!!!!!! Trust me..
This was one of the best and unforgettable moments of my Jungle experiences.

I will edit the description with position of pits! :-) Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago
and about the distance i couldn't resist myself taking his head-shots.. I was aware of the danger so friends helping me with the torch i asked them to don't dare move the beam off the snake.. and viper was very slowly moving, and they attack by making tight 'S' shape so that they can stretch and reach target so as you can see its still its normal stance.. but after some time on my friends movement he showed us his/her aggression... and obviously we all were backed off immediately.. (Will share that shot soon) Posted 7 years ago
