Telescopus dhara (Dhara tiger snakes)
I've been working with this amazing species for a while now and managed to get some hatchlings this season... 
They are pretty rare here in SA so I thought I'd share them with you guys !
I hope you enjoyed them.
Regards
Louis.

Re: Telescopus dhara (Dhara tiger snakes)
in that first picture,if you ignore the neck and look only at the head.....
it almost looks like a fish,if you scroll the picture down on your monitor,so you hide the fork in the tongue
i think its the head shape and eyes
i hope that makes sense 
great pic's,thanks for sharing mate
cheers shaun

Re: Telescopus dhara (Dhara tiger snakes)
Thanks a lot guys !
Haha...Shaun, I like the way you see the world haha...
@Lankyrob, These are pretty small snakes. They will probably not grow much larger that 70cm or so. The hatchling in the pic is around 10cm in length !
@MoreliAddict, They do have mild venom that's probably harmless to humans. Most bites from species in the genus Telescopus will cause a numbness around the bite site and the wound may bleed freely at times. But I honestly do not consider them to be "hot" as in Naja (cobra) hot. The closest thing I can compare them to would probably be a bite from a small False water cobra or Hognose snake.
Regards.

Re: Telescopus dhara (Dhara tiger snakes)

Wow, these guys are kind of like pugs...so ugly they're cute *LOL* and i am a snake lover for sure, but this thing looks almost like it hatched a little too soon or something. i like them though!
Not that venomous, eh? could go onto my list of wants....hehehe

Re: Telescopus dhara (Dhara tiger snakes)
Your snake is so cool! Are they more arboreal or terrestrial? Also, are they related to cat eye snakes at all? It kinda looks like one

Re: Telescopus dhara (Dhara tiger snakes)
Thanks guys !
These are terrestrial and also called Arabian cat eyed snakes Ivanator, so you are spot on.
I'll post some pics of the hatchlings once they start eating.
Regards.
