Smooth-scaled Mountain Rat Snake - Ptyas luzonensis Not definitely sure, possibly a Smooth-scaled Mountain Rat Snake. It was around 2 meters or more in length.<br />
Found it in a pond along a road, it was hunting among the Tree Frogs.<br />
Couldn't get closer shots of it for definite ID because I wasn't sure if its a venomous Snake and also I didn't want to get wet in the pond.<br />
