Creatures from the montane forest of Sabah, Borneo

I spent 3 nights checking out the montane forest of Sabah, East Malaysia (Borneo). It was extremely dry but still, I managed to find quite many creatures to photograph.
Griswold's Reed Snake (Calamaria griswoldi). One of the prettiest reed snakes ever! Montane forest of Sabah, East Malaysia (Borneo).

WoW is all I can say. On the snake, It looks ready to defend it's territory. No way I would be in that dudes range. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: at least three thumbs up.

Excellent. That Reed snake is a beauty. The Cat Snake appears to be a mostly nocturnal creature. True?
