Oxyuranus microlepidus (if I spelled that right. It has been a long while since I wrote an latin name) is known to change color depending on the time of year. Definately not a drastic change like that however.

Thats the only other example I can think of in snakes.

A very interesting find!

I would think maybe it had somthing to do with thermo requlateing their body but its Borneeo. I dont belive there is a drastic enough tempeture change to warrent that.
