Greenie! (bushsnake)

I found this guy at Ngwenya Lodge Which is in Mpumalanga near the Crocodile gate to Kruger!

This snake species has always been a dream find for me.
I have wanted to spot one since the first time I saw one in a field guide!

I found him in our chalet AC unit and moved him the five meters or so to the reeds lining a dam!

Took the opportunity to snap this pic!
