A rather strikingly patterned Eastern Natal Green Snake (Philothamnus natalensis) from the first day of a week-long trip through Zululand with @afri_herp_birder and @the_local_herper, late last year. After a more-or-less fruitless afternoon of flipping over rotting logs and skoffling through fallen leaves in an empty campsite outside Mtunzini, Tristan spotted this snake, which was stalking a skink through the undergrowth. Unfortunately, the main target for this area – the infamous Jaco Dercksen – continued to elude us, but this was a good consolation prize.
