Painted Mock Viper - Psammodynastes pictus This orange/brown variation of Painted Mock Viper - Psammodynastes pictus is the one that is more often seen at the Park. This particular one was found on the same bush on the side of a pond that has a lot of frogs. It was at the same spot at night for the whole duration of 6 nights I was there. During day time, it probably went under the bushes to hide. <br /> <br /> This is another form/variation of the same species seen at the same location :<br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/68779/painted_mock_viper_-_psammodynastes_pictus.html" title="Painted Mock Viper - Psammodynastes pictus"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2994/68779_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=3bXt5JiRMnQBuXykl5ZWQC1DVhI%3D" width="200" height="150" alt="Painted Mock Viper - Psammodynastes pictus First time to see this variation of Painted Mock Viper - Psammodynastes pictus and I had previously thought there was only 1 species of Mock Viper.
