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.
