While touring through indonesia by motorcycle I found this guy lying in the middle of the road. At first I thought it was a large leaf but when I got closer I noticed it was a snake and just barely was able to dodge it. We parked along the road and checked if it had been run over; this didn't seem to be the case (though on these 2 pictures it might look like it).
We discussed if we should pick it up and throw it off the road, but it was too risky because we had no idea if it was venonous or not. Anyways, we found it in the island Sumbawa, it was about 1.5 meters long and about 6 centimeters at the widest point (It also looked like it has got a nice meal not long ago :P).
Does anyone know which kind of snake it could have been? Thanks!
PS: sorry for the blurry pictures; they are taken with the camera of my phone and I didn't want to come closer than a few meters. I have got some sharper pictures from my actual camera and I'll post those when I get back home in a few days.
Can anyone identify this wild snake in Indonesia?
