Missing LocationDescription
The snake was found next to the road in Minziro Forest and appears to have been killed earlier the same day.
Later confirmed by Tanzanian and WCS herpetologists to be the first confirmed record of this species in the country. Only previous doubtful record with no photos exist from the Usumbara Mountains

kogiaDescription
This large (2m) was emerging from the hollowed out centre of a tree, unfortunately our torches seemed to startle it and it quickly got back into cover, where we took the sensible decision to keep our distance and not disturb it further.
