Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi all,

Last sunday someone was selling a bunch of vine snakes at a show. Most of them looked like "regular" Ahaetulla prasina, but a few of them looked different. So I brought 2 home Now I would like to find out what species they are.

Ok, here's the facts:
* The shape of the head is different from A. prasina. A bit more rounded.
* Their heads are clearly bicolored. bright yellow and bright green.
* Their eyes are orange, as opposed to yellow with A. prasina.
* Their bodies are bright green, like A. prasina, but with bright yellow stripes next to their dorsal scales.
* No locality data unfortunately

Here's 2 pics:

More pics can be made if needed!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,
Sietse Visser

I would suggest trying these on the Rear-fanged Forum or just the venomous forum. There are more people familiar with Ahaetulla there.

Great photos, BTW.

Thanks Chris!

I thought about posting it in the rear-fanged section, but i hoped it would get a bit more attention here.
I'll post it in the rear-fanged section aswell
Thanks again!

That is true, but the problem is that Ahaetulla species require a bit of experience and a lot of us who peruse this forum don't have that experience with captive rear-fangs.
