Red Tailed racer

This red-tailed racer Gonyosoma oxycephalum was sighted clinging on a low isolated shrub about a metre off the ground in lowland forest in Johore. This is an arboreal species that is rarely sighted  on the ground so I think it must have fallen off a branch or something.

Despite its large gentle eyes, it is known to be temperamental though its bite is non venomous.

Its sweet to taste the fruit of thy labour

But sweeter still to beggar thy neighbour.
