Might need a head shot.
I wonder if it's a Rhabdophis tigrinus.

The head is not that photogenic anymore, unfortunately.... It might be, it's lacking the reddish part, but maybe that comes with age? This was a rather young one, just 90 cm long.Username Taken wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 2:32 pm Might need a head shot.

Those don't occur here but I think it is some sort of Keelback. Maybe Triangle Keelback - Xenochrophis trianguligerus?I wonder if it's a Rhabdophis tigrinus.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
