Four Whips In A Day!

During a late afternoon on 8 September 2007, Chan Kwok Wai found not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Oriental Whip Snakes (Ahaetulla prasina)!!!! One of the snakes was sighted at eye level, while the rest were encountered at the tree canopies. The green colour and long body length of this species, are perhaps adaptations for life at the canopy, since the former provides the snake with a good camouflage against aerial predators and the latter allows the snake to move from canopy to canopy.





From what I know, the Oriental Whip Snake is a popular pet. By disclosing the microhabitat of this snake, I fear that it will become easy target for potential poachers. Thus I would like to urge people to refrain from collecting this snake. I hope that information on the habit of this snake will instead allow us to understand its needs and eventually lead to better management of our few remaining forests.

More on this species here.

If you read the post, it is clear that we do not advocate the collection of snakes for personal enjoyment. If you love snakes, it will be great if you can learn to appreciate them in their natural habitat instead of keeping them in captivity. Thanksss.

I like what you are doing here. I had collected a snake from the wild in my country (USA) and I've felt absolutely horrible about it ever since, and would never do such a thing again.

He has got along fine, and was taken legally with all the necessary permits, but if i had to do it all over again I never would have restricted his freedom.

Now I just take a picture, appreciate them, and move on.

gosh what a seriously misguided person mr anonymous is.. and he doesn't even leave a name so we can further counsel him ..
he's definitely obessed about the snake to think of it from 11:55 pm to 12:18 am

HI there, I am very much interested to visit the snake water-lands. I want to see the snakes. It will be really good adventure for me. Please suggest me some ideas to visit there.

We have a lot of the same and similar species of snakes as you do there in Singapore. We are in Thailand and Snakes here include reticulated python, Ahaetulla (the whip snakes), Lycodon genus (wolf snakes), and others you have. If you don't mind we can share information sometime.

These snakes are so scary... and the green one is very dangerous..
