Sombre Whipsnake (Demansia quaesitor)

One of Australia's most elegant snakes, this venomous whipsnake is found in tropical and semi-arid woodlands in northern Australia. Not often seen, they are a fast-moving snake that are active during the day and mainly predate on skinks

The colour running down the front half of this animal was some of the most incredible patterning I have seen on a snake!
