Field Notes

Description:

This snake is a green whip snake that my class and I have found. We saw one of its relatives at the Dairy Farm Rainforest. These snakes are known for there whipping ability. Some have suicidal temptations and try to twist their necks. They are not life-threatening, but they will bite. Thanks!

Add size, too! How can you tell it isn't a malayan white lipped pit viper? http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/snakes.htm
