Gorgeous girl (or boy, I don't really know), relaxing on the path. Retreated into the greenery when I nearly trod on her, but watched me watching her, unconcerned. These are just the nicest, most beautiful snakes.

(A note to the snake mods: I confirmed this myself as I'm confident with this species, and also ran it past my company's senior fauna ecologist who agreed. Sorry if I overstepped!)
