I chanced upon a Malayan brown snake Xenelaphis hexagonotus while out hiking at night. This non venonmous creature was in the forest stream noisily foraging for snacks, most likely young frogs. Suddenly, a young water monitor dashed out from nowhere and pursued it until both disappeared into the darkness....it happened so quickly I had no time to shoot.

cool...
is that a little frog I see sitting on the leaf in the foreground?
yep, a baby one - apparently night snacks for the snake.
I have to say I prefer the snakes to the spiders and this is such a great shot.
glad to know your hairs are not standing on ends .... ^_^
Nice pic.
