Keelback Snake (1/3)

Squamata: Colubridae

Tropidonophis mairii  

Also known as Freshwater Snake.

I was standing on a small bridge over a pool in a narrow watercourse trying to photograph an Australian Emerald dragonfly hovering over the water when I noticed what appeared to be an eel in the water. When it poked out a forked tongue, I realised it was a Keelback Snake.
