Simply means I saw three of them in one day!
The first one was spotted by a lady on my boat. She has sharp eyes!
A Reticulated Python (Python Reticulatus)
What were the rest?
A lucky spot by me...
Mangrove Pit viper (Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus)
...and the last one before the day ended. I was driving along Datai Road in the dark and my car almost ran over it while it was crossing the road. I stopped my car, ran towards it to check and it slithered into the undergrowth. I quickly ran back to my car to grab my camera and only managed to capture this.
Can you see its tail? I suspect it was a Elapidae, very likely a King Cobra (checked my Snake book shortly after)
People have asked me if there are any snakes in Langkawi. Well, I have seen three different ones in one day. What a lovely snaky day!
