Leave your answers in the comments section – answer – whose tail is this?
The first one to get it correct will get use of my “The Snake Charmer” – ebook on Kindle whenever Kindle enables borrowing other people’s ebooks. Michael Cota cannot win because I sent him this image already.
this might be a tail of a green Leguan (Iguana iguana).
greetings
Well, that didn’t take long!! You’re supposed to say, “Bungarus candidus” or Laotian Wolf Snake or something! You’re good!
Do you have a Kindle? If yes, I’ll lend you my “The Snake Charmer” Book – the one about famous herpetologist Joe Slowinski. Just let me know.
Hello, thank you for lending opportunity of “The snake charmer”. It would be really great and I would appreciate to read it. I am a kind of hobby thaland snake fan and study your great homepage alot. I love it. By the way I saw the tail and I thought about bungarus fasciatus maybe a varity more ocker yellow but bungarus has a “linear” triangle shape and is so great glossy on the skins surface… Then I detect the small thorns in the top and I thougt it is a leguan. Funny…
Have a nice day. P.S.:When do think a report of the daboia russelli siamensis could be lunched. A really deadly beautiful….

Yes, the scales on the iguana were a giveaway. I kept trying to crop the picture to be harder to guess but I think you are too good. The daboia russelli siamensis is not native to where I am in Southern Thailand – but I have a page I’m editing for it now. Will have to find a photo to use for it too. I have about 45 pages in “draft mode” right now. Do you have an image of that viper?
A Physignathus cocincinus would me more apropos.
Damn me. That’s what I get for listening to the snake guys… I must have had 6 people tell me “Iguana”. Thanks for the heads-up. “Chinese Water Dragon” for the non-biologists.
