Had always heard about juvenile green keelbacks flattening their neck in V shape as cobra's do.. Thought it was wonderfull opportunity to click its pics while it flattend its hood... So here it is
Cropped from the original.
Found this guy high up a huge tree,more than 15m above the ground. He eventually climbed up to the branch on top and just basked.
Here you can see the habitat and the sheer height he had attained, in search of sunlight perhaps.
