Kanburi Pit Viper - Trimeresurus kanburiensis (งูหางแฮ่มกาญจน์) in Kanchanaburi, Thailand

Описание: The Kanburi pit viper is a rarely seen species of snake endemic to the western portion of Kanchanaburi province in Thailand. There are some superficially similar looking species in peninsular Thailand, and in the past, they were sometimes confused as the same species. I have a forest restoration program in Thong Pha Phum within the range of this species and have been fortunate enough to see four individuals over the years. I have been told about a 'hotspot' not far from my house where they can quite often be seen during the rainy season, so I will spend some time searching there when the rains come back. The particular individual was in a bamboo plant on my land in an area where water has just started to flow year-round for the first time in many years, as a result of the tree cover that is now developing there. It was one of six snake species that I saw there over a few days last week..... very gratifying indeed.

I film most of my Thailand Wild clips in 8K and export them in 4K, so for best viewing I strongly recommend watching them on a TV rather than a phone, preferably a 4K TV.
