Green Vine Snake (Ahaetulla nasuta) Green Vine Snake (Ahaetulla nasuta)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
