A coiled, cooperative Trinket Snake
This attractive snake crossed the dirt road in front of us as we were driving to a nearby camp for dinner. My guide jumped out of the jeep and ran up to the snake, paused for a moment to ensure that it wasn't a cobra, then grabbed it. We kept it for a photo session the next morning, where it cooperatively assumed a variety of photogenic positions, before releasing it back at the spot where found.

The trinket snake is a nonvenomous constrictor species of colubrid snake native to south Central Asia, in Sri Lanka, southern India, Pakistan , Nepal, and Bangladesh. Its type locality is India: Vishakhapatnam .
