A Swiss friend recently came down to South Africa and was lucky enough to find the specimen below. I have personally done about a dozen trips over the last 15 years to the area where these are found and only turned up a single dead on road (DOR) one. Now this is the second specimen to be found (by others) in a year....some of you might remember the last one.
My Swiss friend did the honourable thing and released the snake after photographing it. The snake was found crossing the road in the early evening at an undisclosed locality in the Northern Cape.
Such rare Beauty! Pity no one (that I know of) is working with these!
Enjoy the pic!
