Green Vine Snake (Ahaetulla nasuta)
The Green Vine Snake (Ahaetulla nasuta) is a master of camouflage. Its slender body is almost impossible to pick out in the thick vegetation of forest. It takes patience and practice to find this snake but once you have the technique down, you start to see them everywhere. Green Vines are diurnal, so as soon as it gets dark they curl up on a plant and go to sleep. In the dark, they are a lot easier to see by torch light.

The green vine snake ඇහැටුල්ලා in Sinhala, in Telugu, লাউডগা in Bengali is a slender green tree snake found in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Not to be confused with ''Oxybelis fulgidus'', "green vine snake" found in Central and South America.
