Tropical Snakes

Plan a herping / macro tour with us. More details here on Orion Herp Adventure Travel. Tours in and around Peninsular Malaysia as well as Borneo are available. Sumatra, Thailand and Vietnam too in the near future.

Snakes of Malaysia:

These are all the snakes that I have photographed, mostly from within Peninsula Malaysia. Although far from complete, it should still be good for identification purpose. More species will be added as I find them! Do also check out amphibia.my and ecologyasia .

The first snake I ever photographed with my MP-E65 lens. Only 4 inches from front of lens to subject! Kuala Lumpur.
