Hi Ms.Pejaver, Its tail is raised over its abdomen ready to strike and hence is out of focus. It is protecting its young one. Regards, Neil Soares.

Sending you a photograph taken at my farm at Shahapur. The snake is possibly the Bombay Sheild Tail snake [Uropeltis macrolepis marolepis]. It can only be identified with certainty by doing a scale count. With regards, Neil Soares. --- On Wed, 8/18/10, ushaprabha page <[email protected]> wrote: From: ushaprabha page <[email protected]> Subject: [efloraofindia:44718] photos To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 1:32 PM Pl identify.
