Green-striped Vine Snake (Xenoxybelis argenteus) sneaking a peek at whoever is disturbing its sleep This young snake was spotted at night as shown here, except that initially its head was tucked in on the other side of the leaf. As we took pictures, it sleepily lifted its head and turned to see who was bothering it and why. We apparently weren't considered a sufficient threat, as it made no further movements.
