Green Vine Snake (Ahaetulla nasuta)- After three days we FINALLY got to see at least one of these beautiful snakes (PWS supposedly has a large no. of these fellows)

This beautifully camouflaging reptile is referred to as ‘eye-pluckers’ in many parts of its range.
(In fact, its generic name is derived from the Sinhala language of Sri lanka – Ehetulla which means ‘eye-plucker’)

PWS also plays home to the brown version of the Vine snake.
