More snakes

Yesterday, while in the community of Makuma I had a while to wait while my doctor passenger attended to some local patients before heading to Nunkui with me. One of the missionaries that lives there in Makuma is very passionate about all things crawly, especially snakes. He was just brought the one you see below the day before by some nearby villagers. The snake was beautifully green and yellow. We took him into the nearby grass to get some pictures, where he got a little agitated (that was the plan) and puffed up and got into his defensive strike position. Unfortunately, I had my camera on black and white setting, which is undoable, thus making the brilliantly colored snake two tone. Oops!
