Guess what kind of Reptile

[guppy]

I vaguely remember reading about this guy in an article about the rafflesia or meat lily from Borneo, hmmm. I'll be back.

Aha! It is the earless monitor, Lanthanotus borneensis, from Sarawak, Borneo. Here is a pic from the Vienna Natural History Museum. I confirmed the ID by finding the pics you used including the bottom one by Robert Spacklund. I will find a pic.

A snake to play with, once.

Looks like a cobra...forest cobra maybe? Or a dark Egyptian banded?

Owen.

Hiyaluvspun around, close enough. It is a Snouted cobra, Naja annulifera annulifera.
Your turn to post a pic.
