Bornean Keeled Pit Viper

This is a juvenils Bornean Keeled Pit Viper - Tropidolaemus subannulatus.
It was a bit feisty when I tried to take close-up pictures of it, striking at me several times, that I have to leave it without close-up shots.

  I have taken much closer-up shots of them before, just the face, full fram, no crops :D Posted 8 years ago

By the way, why does this one have yellow/red stripes whilst the other photos of the same species do not? Is this a gender or maturity variation? Posted 8 years ago

  The stripes and colours is the variation in the juveniles. Posted 8 years ago
